Pair of spaces

Pair of spaces

In mathematics, particularly algebraic topology, a pair of spaces is an ordered pair ("X", "A") where "X" is a topological space and "A" a subspace (with the subspace topology).

The use of pairs of spaces is sometimes more convenient and technically superior to taking a quotient space of "X" by "A". Pairs of spaces occur centrally in relative homology.
