Abstract: A quasi-regular cell complex is defined and shown to have a reasonable barycentric subdivision. In this setting, Whitney's theorem that the k-skeleton of the barycentric subdivision of a triangulated n-manifold is dual to the th Stiefel-Whitney cohomology class is proven, and applied to projective spaces, lens spaces and surfaces.
