Inverse may refer to:
- Inverse (logic)Inverse (logic)In traditional logic, an inverse is a type of conditional sentence which is an immediate inference made from another conditional sentence. Any conditional sentence has an inverse: the contrapositive of the converse. The inverse of P \rightarrow Q is thus \neg P \rightarrow \neg Q...
, a type of immediate inference from a conditional sentence - Inverse (program)Inverse (program)Inverse is a general purpose computer program for solving inverse and optimization problems.The program has been designed in particular for solving problems where complex numerical simulations Inverse is a general purpose computer program for solving inverse and optimization problems.The program...
, a program for solving inverse and optimization problems - Inverse multiplexerInverse multiplexerAn inverse multiplexer allows a data stream to be broken into multiple lower data rate communication links. An inverse multiplexer differs from a demultiplexer because the multiple output streams from the former stay inter-related, whereas those from the latter are unrelated...
(or 'demultiplexer'), which breaks a single data stream into several streams with lower data rates - "Invert", a term used in the exotic pet industry to refer to arthropods
- Inversions (novel), a science fiction novel by Iain M. Banks
Science, engineering and mathematics
- Inverse (mathematics)Inverse (mathematics)In many contexts in mathematics the term inverse indicates the opposite of something. This word and its derivatives are used widely in mathematics, as illustrated below....
- Inversive geometry, transformation geometry based on inversion in a circle
- Inverse problemInverse problemAn inverse problem is a general framework that is used to convert observed measurements into information about a physical object or system that we are interested in...
, in science and mathematics, fitting a model to known data - Multiplicative inverseMultiplicative inverseIn mathematics, a multiplicative inverse or reciprocal for a number x, denoted by 1/x or x−1, is a number which when multiplied by x yields the multiplicative identity, 1. The multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. For the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the...
, a set of numbers which when multiplied yield the multiplicative identity, 1 - Invert, the bottom of a sewer or tunnel, particularly if masonry lined. It may be flat or form a continuous curve with the tunnel arch.
