<p>In <a href="page.php?w=mathematics">mathematics</a>, specifically in <a href="page.php?w=algebraic_topology">algebraic topology</a>, the <b>cup product</b> is a method of adjoining two <a href="page.php?w=cocycle">cocycle</a>s of degree  and  to form a composite cocycle of degree .  This defines an associative (and distributive) graded commutative product operation in  cohomology, turning the cohomology of a space  into a <a href="page.php?w=graded_ring">graded ring</a>, , called the <a href="page.php?w=cohomology_ring">cohomology ring</a>. </p><p>
