We have a unified notation already? x^y = z x = z^{1/y} \log(x) y = \log(z) Some of these generalize well to complex numbers/matrices/groups/flows/etc. some

We have a unified notation already?
x^y = z
x = z^{1/y}
\log(x) y = \log(z)
Some of these generalize well to complex numbers/matrices/groups/flows/etc. some don't.
- cuspycode 6y agoI would like a more unified notation for the concept of "inverse". But I have no good suggestions for how to implement that. However, I have some bad suggestions just to illustrate what I mean: INV(*) x, instead of 1/x INV(+) x, instead of -x INV(f) x, instead of f^{-1}(x) The last one should really be (INV(°) f) x = f^{-1}(x), where ° denotes function composition as the group operator. But involving this operator in the notation would probably be overkill in most circumstances.
