Inversing: meaning, definitions and examples
๐
inversing
[ ษชnหvษหrsษชล ]
mathematics, logic
Inversing refers to the process of reversing a mathematical operation or logical function to obtain the original value or input. This can involve applying an inverse function or performing an operation that negates the effect of a previous one.
Synonyms
inverting, negating, reversing.
Examples of usage
- Inversing a matrix allows you to solve linear equations.
- You can find the inverse of a function by reflecting it over the line y=x.
- Inversing the sign of a number gives you its opposite.
- In computer programming, inversing a boolean value changes true to false and vice versa.

Etymology
The term 'inverse' comes from the Latin word 'inversus', which is the past participle of 'vertere' meaning 'to turn'. The prefix 'in-' indicates the notion of reversal or negation. The concept of inversing has profound roots in mathematics and logic, particularly in fields such as algebra and calculus where finding the inverse of functions and operations is essential. Over time, the usage of 'inversing' has expanded beyond mathematics to include contexts in computer science, programming, and everyday language, each time emphasizing the idea of turning something back to its original state or counteracting its effects.
