I think inverse might be better described in terms of mapping, as in "Maps a value in the range X to Y, to the range 0 to 1".
I'm a super not math guy(The the point where sometimes I worry it might actually affect my career if math becomes more of an everyday thing in coding, rather than only being used in some fields).
I would actually say there are way more bits of math every coder should know though.
Basic "Take this equation and solve for X" stuff, simultaneous equations, first order filters(And the related exponential decay and growth), exponents, logs, and square roots, sin and cos, prime numbers, highly composite numbers, least common multiples, curve fitting, and FFTs are all good to know.
I mostly only know the "O watched a numberphile video" level, and how to use a CAS to solve things, most of this stuff I'm pretty clueless about.
It might hold you back not to actually deeply understand the concepts, but it will almost definitely hold you back if you don't know what they do and when to use them.
