  2. Inversion (discrete mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_(discrete...

    An inversion may be denoted by the pair of places (2, 4) or the pair of elements (5, 2). The inversions of this permutation using element-based notation are: (3, 1), (3, 2), (5, 1), (5, 2), and (5,4). In computer science and discrete mathematics, an inversion in a sequence is a pair of elements that are out of their natural order.

  3. Inversive geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversive_geometry

    It follows from the definition that the inversion of any point inside the reference circle must lie outside it, and vice versa, with the center and the point at infinity changing positions, whilst any point on the circle is unaffected (is invariant under inversion). In summary, for a point inside the circle, the nearer the point to the center ...

    In the context of proofs, this phrase is often seen in induction arguments when passing from the base case to the induction step, and similarly, in the definition of sequences whose first few terms are exhibited as examples of the formula giving every term of the sequence. necessary and sufficient

  5. Inverse function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_function

    In classical mathematics, every injective function f with a nonempty domain necessarily has a left inverse; however, this may fail in constructive mathematics. For instance, a left inverse of the inclusion {0,1} → R of the two-element set in the reals violates indecomposability by giving a retraction of the real line to the set {0,1}. [22]

  6. Involution (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Involution_(mathematics)

    Any involution is a bijection.. The identity map is a trivial example of an involution. Examples of nontrivial involutions include negation (x ↦ −x), reciprocation (x ↦ 1/x), and complex conjugation (z ↦ z) in arithmetic; reflection, half-turn rotation, and circle inversion in geometry; complementation in set theory; and reciprocal ciphers such as the ROT13 transformation and the ...

  8. Inverse curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_curve

    As noted above, the inverse with respect to a circle of a curve of degree n has degree at most 2n.The degree is exactly 2n unless the original curve passes through the point of inversion or it is circular, meaning that it contains the circular points, (1, ±i, 0), when considered as a curve in the complex projective plane.

    For example: "All humans are mortal, and Socrates is a human. ∴ Socrates is mortal." ∵ Abbreviation of "because" or "since". Placed between two assertions, it means that the first one is implied by the second one. For example: "11 is prime ∵ it has no positive integer factors other than itself and one." ∋ 1. Abbreviation of "such that".
