Inverse Mapping


A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z overview

For a bijective map $ f:A\to B$, the inverse map $ f^{-1}:B\to A$ is defined by

$\displaystyle b=f(a) \Leftrightarrow a = f^{-1}(b) \quad .
$

In particular, we have $ a = f^{-1}(f(a))$, which means that $ f^{-1}\circ f$ is the identical map.
