Definition

Let $X \subset \R$ be a symmetric set of real numbers:

$\forall x \in X: -x \in X$


A real function $f: X \to \R$ is an odd function if and only if:

$\forall x \in X: \map f {-x} = -\map f x$


Examples

Identity Function

Let $I_\R: \R \to \R$ denote the identity function on $\R$.

Then $I_\R$ is an odd function.
