Definition talk:Reverse Bijections

Isn't this all covered in the existing work on bijections? I can find nothing backing this definition up. --prime mover (talk) 17:56, 20 January 2018 (EST)

 * No need for it then. Can we delete it? --prime mover (talk) 18:10, 20 January 2018 (EST)
 * Okay. --barto (talk) (contribs) 18:32, 20 January 2018 (EST)
 * For the record, I meant Definition:Inverse Mapping. --barto (talk) (contribs) 03:47, 21 January 2018 (EST)


 * No worries, I figured that out.
 * I will repeat here what I said on that page. I can find no record of "reverse bijections" used anywhere. The word "reverse" is used on occasion, but (as far as I can found from scouring the internet) never as a synonym for "inverse".
 * Please stop making stuff up. If you wish to coin a word for a concept, then do so under the following circumstances:
 * a) when no such term exists for the concept you are invoking, and you need a short way of referring to that concept (I did that recently with respect to some complex topological space which I needed to refer to)
 * b) can't remember what the other circumstance was that I thought of before stating to type a).

 * Well of course it is used as a synonym. It's just perhaps uncommon among your colleagues or your research group. --barto (talk) (contribs) 12:48, 22 January 2018 (EST)


 * If you can find a citation in an English language paper which uses this terminology, it's in. --prime mover (talk) 17:27, 22 January 2018 (EST)
