If a real function has a domain that is self-symmetric with respect to the origin, it may be uniquely decomposed as the sum of an even and an odd function, which are called respectively the even part (or the even component) and the odd part (or the odd component) of the function, and are defined by = + (), and = ().
It is possible for a function to be neither odd nor even, and for the case f(x) = 0, to be both odd and even. [20] The Taylor series of an even function contains only terms whose exponent is an even number, and the Taylor series of an odd function contains only terms whose exponent is an odd number. [21]
The integral of an odd function from −A to +A is zero, provided that A is finite and that the function is integrable (e.g., has no vertical asymptotes between −A and A). [ 3 ] The integral of an even function from − A to + A is twice the integral from 0 to + A , provided that A is finite and the function is integrable (e.g., has no ...
Parity only depends on the number of ones and is therefore a symmetric Boolean function.. The n-variable parity function and its negation are the only Boolean functions for which all disjunctive normal forms have the maximal number of 2 n − 1 monomials of length n and all conjunctive normal forms have the maximal number of 2 n − 1 clauses of length n.
The permutation is odd if and only if this factorization contains an odd number of even-length cycles. Another method for determining whether a given permutation is even or odd is to construct the corresponding permutation matrix and compute its determinant. The value of the determinant is the same as the parity of the permutation. Every ...

As far as I'm aware, the terms odd and even are derived from the exponents of some basic odd and even functions ; x 2 has the property that f(x)=f(-x) -- i.e. x 2 =(-x) 2. Similarly with x 4, x 6 and so on. Since these have even exponents, all other functions which have this property are referred to as even.
In mathematics, Mathieu functions, sometimes called angular Mathieu functions, are solutions of Mathieu's differential equation + ( ()) =, where a, q are real-valued parameters. Since we may add π/2 to x to change the sign of q, it is a usual convention to set q ≥ 0.
