  2. Even and odd functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Even_and_odd_functions

    The cosine function and all of its Taylor polynomials are even functions. In mathematics, an even function is a real function such that for every in its domain. Similarly, an odd function is a function such that for every in its domain. They are named for the parity of the powers of the power functions which satisfy each condition: the function ...

  3. Parity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, parity is the property of an integer of whether it is even or odd. An integer is even if it is divisible by 2, and odd if it is not. [1] For example, −4, 0, and 82 are even numbers, while −3, 5, 7, and 21 are odd numbers. The above definition of parity applies only to integer numbers, hence it cannot be applied to numbers ...

  4. Symmetry in mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_in_mathematics

    ƒ(x) = x 3 is an example of an odd function. Again, let f be a real-valued function of a real variable, then f is odd if the following equation holds for all x and -x in the domain of f: = That is, + =.

  5. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    The resulting function f maps from odd numbers to odd numbers. Now suppose that for some odd number n, applying this operation k times yields the number 1 (that is, f k (n) = 1). Then in binary, the number n can be written as the concatenation of strings w k w k−1...

  6. Cube (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_(algebra)

    The cube of a number or any other mathematical expression is denoted by a superscript 3, for example 2 3 = 8 or (x + 1) 3. The cube is also the number multiplied by its square: n 3 = n × n 2 = n × n × n. The cube function is the function x ↦ x 3 (often denoted y = x 3) that maps a number to its cube. It is an odd function, as (−n) 3 ...

  7. Error function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_function

    This is useful, for example, ... To use these approximations for negative x, use the fact that erf x is an odd function, so erf x = −erf ...

  8. Floor and ceiling functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_and_ceiling_functions

    Ceiling function. In mathematics, the floor function is the function that takes as input a real number x, and gives as output the greatest integer less than or equal to x, denoted ⌊x⌋ or floor (x). Similarly, the ceiling function maps x to the least integer greater than or equal to x, denoted ⌈x⌉ or ceil (x). [1]

  9. Multiple integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_integral

    The function 2 sin(x) is an odd function in the variable x and the disc T is symmetric with respect to the y-axis, so the value of the first integral is 0. Similarly, the function 3 y 3 is an odd function of y , and T is symmetric with respect to the x -axis, and so the only contribution to the final result is that of the third integral.
