[Math] Group cohomology of orthogonal groups with integer coefficient

at.algebraic-topologygroup-cohomologylie-groups

I would like to know the group cohomology of orthogonal groups $SO(n)$, which is the topological cohomology of the classifying space of the group:
$H^*(BSO(n);\mathbb{Z}) = $ ? (for example for $n=10$)

I also like to know $H^*(BPSU(n);\mathbb{Z})$ (say for $n=3$), where $PSU(n)=SU(n)/Z_n$
and $Z_n$ is the center of $SU(n)$.

Thanks!

For a precise answer to your first question, see Theorem 1.5 of

Brown, Edgar H., Jr. The cohomology of BSOn and BOn with integer coefficients. Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 85 (1982), no. 2, 283–288.

For your second question, note that there is an isomorphism $PSU(n)\cong PU(n)$ for each $n$, and that the cohomology $H^\ast(BPU(3);\mathbb{F}_3)$ is worked out in

Kono, Akira; Mimura, Mamoru; Shimada, Nobuo Cohomology of classifying spaces of certain associative H-spaces. J. Math. Kyoto Univ. 15 (1975), no. 3, 607–617.
