2. Parity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   Even and odd numbers have opposite parities, e.g., 22 (even number) and 13 (odd number) have opposite parities. In particular, the parity of zero is even. [2] Any two consecutive integers have opposite parity. A number (i.e., integer) expressed in the decimal numeral system is even or odd according to whether its last digit is even or odd. That ...

3. Even and odd ordinals - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Even_and_odd_ordinals

   In mathematics, even and odd ordinals extend the concept of parity from the natural numbers to the ordinal numbers. They are useful in some transfinite induction proofs. The literature contains a few equivalent definitions of the parity of an ordinal α: Every limit ordinal (including 0) is even. The successor of an even ordinal is odd, and ...

4. Odds and evens (hand game) - Wikipedia

   Even-Odd as an early form of roulette. This game was known by the Greeks (as artiazein) and Romans (as ludere par impar).In the 1858 Krünitzlexikon it says: [3] "The game Odds and Evens was very common amongst the Romans and was played either with tali, tesseris, or money and known as "Alea maior", or with nuts, beans and almonds and known as "Alea minor"."

5. Even and odd functions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Even_and_odd_functions

   They are named for the parity of the powers of the power functions which satisfy each condition: the function () = is even if n is an even integer, and it is odd if n is an odd integer. Even functions are those real functions whose graph is self-symmetric with respect to the y -axis, and odd functions are those whose graph is self-symmetric ...

6. Odd and Even - Wikipedia

   Odd and Even is also closely related to Royal Cotillion, which has very similar game-play but has a reserve of sixteen cards. This in turn is closely related to Contradance (Cotillion) and the single-deck game Captured Queens (Quadrille), both of which have no reserve and are entirely luck-based.

7. Parity of zero - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_of_zero

   At best they would have to be modified. For example, one test study guide asserts that even numbers are characterized as integer multiples of two, but zero is "neither even nor odd". [13] Accordingly, the guide's rules for even and odd numbers contain exceptions: even ± even = even (or zero) odd ± odd = even (or zero) even × nonzero integer ...
