Odd numbers are defined as numbers of the form 2n+1 for some integer n. Since 0 is an integer, 2x0+1=1 is an odd number. Another way to think of it is that an odd number is one that is not even. An even number is one of the form 2n for some integer n. 1 is not even so it is odd. This means 0 is even, by the way.
