Inversion is defined by
z↦c+
a
r
|z-c|
(z-c)
, where
c
and
r
are the center and radius of a circle and
a
is the exponent of inversion. Usually
a=2
, in which case angles are preserved and lines and circles are mapped to lines or circles. In general, the mapping interchanges points inside and outside the circle of inversion.
