Relative mapping degree (source code)

= Relative mapping degree
{title2=$F_*[D^m,S^{m-1}]=d[D^m,S^{m-1}]$}

For a map of oriented disk pairs, the multiplier on top <relative homology> is its relative <mapping degree>. Naturality of the <connecting homomorphism> identifies it with the <mapping degree> of the boundary map.
