Today's beef with math: overloading the term "inverse". Inverse of a scalar: 1/n, aka n^-1 Inverse of a matrix: m^-1. So far so good. Inverse of vector: -v. What. Why not v^-1? Turns out both would be right. There is Additive and Multiplicative Inverses.
The entire point I’m making is that additive and multiplicative inverses are not the same, yet I see math libs with “inverse(mat)” be multiplicative while “inverse(vec)” is additive.

Right but then it's the math libs at fault right? Not the math itself?

I see you mention "math libs" later but your first tweet mentioned your "beef with math" so I was a bit confused
