Inversion
Otherwise known as thinking through a situation in reverse or thinking "backwards - " inversion is a problem-solving technique. Often by considering what we want to avoid rather than what we want to get - we come up with better solutions. Inversion works not just in mathematics but in nearly every area of life. As the saying goes - "Just tell me where I'm going to die so I can never go there."
