odd function
A function whose graph has pinwheel symmetry through the origin — f(-x)=-f(x).
A function f is odd if f(-x)=-f(x) for every x in its domain, so its graph is symmetric about the origin — a 180° rotation maps it onto itself. Sums of only-odd-power terms are odd.
Examples
f(x)=x^3 is odd — f(-2)=-8=-f(2).
