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...

  • Inverse multiplexer
    Inverse multiplexer
    An 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...

  • Multiplicative inverse
    Multiplicative inverse
    In 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.
