Alexander's trick is a technique used in topology, specifically in the study of continuous functions and compactness. It is primarily associated with the construction of continuous maps and the extension of functions. The trick is named after the mathematician James W. Alexander II and is often employed in scenarios where one needs to extend continuous functions from a subspace to a larger space.
