See:
- Antonym - A word with the opposite meaning.
- Inverse chain rule method - Related to integration and differentiation.
- Inverse element - an element x−1 so that x * x−1 = x−1 * x = e, where * is some binary operation and e is the identity element.
- Inverse function - in mathematics, a function that "reverses" the action of a given function.
- Inverse gamblers fallacy - It says that if something improbable happens now, probable events must have happened in the past or the future. This is false.
