Half-integer

Rational number equal to an integer plus 1/2

In mathematics, a half-integer is a number of the form where is an integer. For example, are all half-integers. The name "half-integer" is perhaps misleading, as the set may be misunderstood to include numbers such as 1. A name such as "integer-plus-half" may be more accurate, but while not literally true, "half integer" is the conventional term. Half-integers occur frequently enough in mathematics and in quantum mechanics that a distinct term is convenient.
