- Inverse - a. - Opposite in order, relation, or effect; reversed; inverted; reciprocal; -- opposed to direct.
- Inverse - a. - Inverted; having a position or mode of attachment the reverse of that which is usual.
- Inverse - a. - Opposite in nature and effect; -- said with reference to any two operations, which, when both are performed in succession upon any quantity, reproduce that quantity; as, multiplication is the inverse operation to division. The symbol of an inverse operation is the symbol of the direct operation with -1 as an index. Thus sin-1 x means the arc whose sine is x.
- Inverse - n. - That which is inverse.
- Inversely - adv. - In an inverse order or manner; by inversion; -- opposed to directly.
- Antistrophe - n. - The repetition of words in an inverse order; as, the master of the servant and the servant of the master.
- Epanodos - n. - A figure of speech in which the parts of a sentence or clause are repeated in inverse order
- Antimetathesis - n. - An antithesis in which the members are repeated in inverse order.
- Resistance - n. - A certain hindrance or opposition to the passage of an electrical current or discharge offered by conducting bodies. It bears an inverse relation to the conductivity, -- good conductors having a small resistance, while poor conductors or insulators have a very high resistance. The unit of resistance is the ohm.
- Cross - a. - Made in an opposite direction, or an inverse relation; mutually inverse; interchanged; as, cross interrogatories; cross marriages, as when a brother and sister marry persons standing in the same relation to each other.
- Inversion - n. - A peculiar method of transformation, in which a figure is replaced by its inverse figure. Propositions that are true for the original figure thus furnish new propositions that are true in the inverse figure. See Inverse figures, under Inverse.
- Inversely - adv. - In an inverse order or manner; by inversion; -- opposed to directly.
- Inverse - a. - Opposite in nature and effect; -- said with reference to any two operations, which, when both are performed in succession upon any quantity, reproduce that quantity; as, multiplication is the inverse operation to division. The symbol of an inverse operation is the symbol of the direct operation with -1 as an index. Thus sin-1 x means the arc whose sine is x.
- Quotient - n. - The result of any process inverse to multiplication. See the Note under Multiplication.
