Clear[x,y];

Solve[y == E^(-x^2/2)/Sqrt[2*Pi], x]

{{x -> (-I)*Sqrt[2]*Sqrt[Log[Sqrt[2*Pi]*y]]}, 
  {x -> I*Sqrt[2]*Sqrt[Log[Sqrt[2*Pi]*y]]}}

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? >><BR><BR>
