I'm translating an English text on maths and it says here
'for the converse,...' this expression repeats quite often but I haven't got a clue of what it means. Can any native spakers help me, plz?

"For the converse" is an extra fancy, old fashioned way of saying "opposite"

Converse is something that has been reversed, or the opposite. For example the converse of addition is subtraction, the converse of multiplication is division. Hope that helps if not give a full example of a statement that uses "for the converse".

I really don't know, except maybe it means the inverse of a fraction, so instead of 1/2, it means 2/1 ? but that's just a guess.

'for the reverse', as in the opposite
That's what I would imagine it means

Well poop thick, it's a brand of shoe. Converse.
Conversely this is a shoo.
