circular or spherical inversion
23. Geometry. Any of several methods for transforming a geometric figure in a manner regarded as analogous to turning (a section of) it inside out; spec. (in later use) that in which each point within a circle, sphere, or hypersphere of a given radius is substituted for a point lying a certain distance along a line passing through both the centre and the original point (more fully circular or spherical inversion).The centre of the circle, sphere, or hypersphere determining the inversion is called the origin or centre of inversion.Early methods of inversion include quadric inversion, in which a conic section is employed in the role more usually occupied by a circle, sphere, or hypersphere, and tangential inversion, in which the form of the inversion is determined by the translation of the figure's tangents, rather than its points.
