Example 25.5 (Real projective spaces):

We take the space $ X$ to be the closed unit disc $ E^n$ in $ \mathbb{R}^n$ and $ A$ as its boundary. The space $ B$ is the lower dimensional projective space $ \mathbb{R}P^{n-1}$. The attaching map is the quotient map $ p:S^{n-1}\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}P^{n-1}$. We leave the proof of the following result to the reader.
