inverse order
31Inverse element — In abstract algebra, the idea of an inverse element generalises the concept of a negation, in relation to addition, and a reciprocal, in relation to multiplication. The intuition is of an element that can undo the effect of combination with… …
32Order-embedding — In mathematical order theory, an order embedding is a special kind of monotone function, which provides a way to include one partially ordered set into another. Like Galois connections, order embeddings constitute a notion which is strictly… …
33Order type — In mathematics, especially in set theory, two ordered sets X,Y are said to have the same order type just when they are order isomorphic, that is, when there exists a bijection f: X → Y such that both f and its inverse are monotone (order… …
34Order of operations — In mathematics and computer programming, the order of operations (sometimes called operator precedence) is a rule used to clarify unambiguously which procedures should be performed first in a given mathematical expression. For example, in… …
35Inverse image functor — In mathematics, the inverse image functor is a contravariant construction of sheaves. The direct image functor is the primary operation on sheaves, with the simplest definition. The inverse image exhibits some relatively subtle… …

37inverse — I. adjective Etymology: Middle English, turned upside down, from Latin inversus, from past participle of invertere Date: 15th century 1. opposite in order, nature, or effect 2. being an inverse function < inverse sine > II. noun Date: circa 1681 …
38Order of magnitude — An order of magnitude is the class of scale or magnitude of any amount, where each class contains values of a fixed ratio to the class preceding it. In its most common usage, the amount being scaled is 10 and the scale is the (base 10) exponent… …
39inverse — adj., n. /in verrs , in verrs/; v. /in verrs /, adj., n., v., inversed, inversing. adj. 1. reversed in position, order, direction, or tendency. 2. Math. a. (of a proportion) containing terms of which an increase in one results in a decrease in… …
40Order isomorphism — In the mathematical field of order theory an order isomorphism is a special kind of monotone function that constitutes a suitable notion of isomorphism for partially ordered sets (posets). Whenever two posets are order isomorphic, they can be… …
