  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. List of sums of reciprocals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sums_of_reciprocals

    The prime quadruplets are pairs of twin primes with only one odd number between them. The sum of the reciprocals of the numbers in prime quadruplets is approximately 0.8706. The sum of the reciprocals of the perfect powers (including duplicates) is 1. The sum of the reciprocals of the perfect powers (excluding duplicates) is approximately 0. ...

    Number of odd entries in row n of Pascal's triangle. A001316: ... = 1 if the binary representation of n contains no block of consecutive zeros of odd length; otherwise a

  5. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    The number is taken to be 'odd' or 'even' according to whether its numerator is odd or even. Then the formula for the map is exactly the same as when the domain is the integers: an 'even' such rational is divided by 2; an 'odd' such rational is multiplied by 3 and then 1 is added.

  6. Polite number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polite_number

    In number theory, a polite number is a positive integer that can be written as the sum of two or more consecutive positive integers. A positive integer which is not polite is called impolite. [1] [2] The impolite numbers are exactly the powers of two, and the polite numbers are the natural numbers that are not powers of two.

  7. Formulas for generating Pythagorean triples - Wikipedia

    Leonardo of Pisa (c. 1170 – c. 1250) described this method [1] [2] for generating primitive triples using the sequence of consecutive odd integers ,,,,, … and the fact that the sum of the first n terms of this sequence is .

  8. Interprime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interprime

    In mathematics, an interprime is the average of two consecutive odd primes. [1] For example, 9 is an interprime because it is the average of 7 and 11. The first interprimes are:

  9. Difference of two squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_of_two_squares

    Galileo's law of odd numbers. A ramification of the difference of consecutive squares, Galileo's law of odd numbers states that the distance covered by an object falling without resistance in uniform gravity in successive equal time intervals is linearly proportional to the odd numbers. That is, if a body falling from rest covers a certain ...
