http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_difference_between_inverse_converse_and_reverse

First, it helps to look at the verb usage: you can reverse something, but you cannot inverse or converse something.
The distinctions between reverse, converse, and inverse can often be made by looking at their roots and simple forms.

Reverse
- look at revert. It means to return to a former condition, position,
etc. The root is from the Latin reversus, which means to turn back.
Reverse is often used to describe a directional change.
"I reversed my position on the matter."
"The water is now flowing in reverse."

Converse
- look at convert. It means to change from one form to another. The
root is from the Latin converses, which means to turn around. Converse
is often used to describe the 'exact' opposite.
"Black is the converse color of white."
"Jill is a democrat; conversely, Jack is a republican."

Inverse
- look at invert. It means to turn upside down or inside out. The Latin
root, inversus, means the same. Inverse is often used to compare how
two things are related in an opposite matter.
"The inverse of 1,2,3,4 is 4,3,2,1." *note that reverse is a process of inversion
"The
relationship between the amounts of water in a container is inverse to
the amount of space; the amount of space decreases as the amount of
water increases." *note that the reverse of this is not true
