Etymology

The term 'invariance' originated from the Latin word 'invarians', which means 'not changing'. It first appeared in the field of mathematics during the 19th century, where it was used to describe properties that remain unchanged under certain transformations. The concept of invariance later expanded to other disciplines such as physics, where it became essential in understanding the conservation of quantities. Today, invariance is a key concept in various scientific fields, guiding researchers in uncovering fundamental principles and laws of nature.
