Nonlinear transformations are mathematical operations that change data or variables in ways that do not preserve straight-line relationships. Unlike linear transformations, which only stretch, shrink, rotate, or reflect points while keeping proportional relationships intact, nonlinear transformations can bend or warp the space itself. This means that lines may become curves, and equal intervals can be distorted differently depending on their position. Such transformations are especially useful f
