In order to invert an equation of the form y = f(x) You should try Solve and write Solve[y - f[x] == 0, x] In my version 4.0.0.0 on W98 the following works: \!\(Solve[y - \[ExponentialE]\^\(\(-x\^2\)\/2\)\/\@\(2 \[Pi]\) == 0, x]\) Regards, Wolfgang AngleWyrm wrote: > I have a formula expressing y in terms of x: > > \!\(y = \[ExponentialE]\^\(\(-x\^2\)\/2\)\/\@\(2 \[Pi]\)\) > > How do you make it so that it expresses x in terms of y? > > >
