Line 1: ==Origin== Okay, so what is the original of the terms even/odd, if not from Taylor series? It's certainly not just "coincidence", as no sane person would keep the term "odd" for the even-powered monomials or vice versa. [[User:216.167.142.196\|216.167.142.196]] 04:46, 17 November 2005 (UTC) : Originally, the word "even" comes from "level", while "odd" comes from "sticking out". [http://members.aol.com/jeff570/e.html] says that the first instance of "even function" was in 1727 by [[Leonhard Euler]], "odd function" in 1819 ([http://members.aol.com/jeff570/o.html]). — [[User:Omegatron\|Omegatron]] 21:56, 17 January 2007 (UTC) Starting with quotients, there is a word missing in the properties.
