Abstract: Understanding of the function concept is essential for students’ success in calculus and in STEM-oriented careers. This brief report shares a small part of findings examining relationships between the teaching of inverse functions in a classroom and students’ learning of the concept as displayed in their response to the Function Concept Inventory (O’Shea et al., 2016).
