Stiefel-whitney Classes

Stiefel-Whitney Classes is a characteristic class in algebraic topology that assigns to each real vector bundle a sequence of cohomology classes with coefficients in $\mathbb{Z}_2$, distinguished by their functoriality under pullbacks and their role in detecting non-triviality of bundle topology through obstruction theory.
