Min[ <Number>, <Number> ]: Returns the minimum of the two given numbers.; Example: Min[12, 15] yields 12.

Min[ <List of Numbers> ]: Returns the minimum of the numbers within the list.; Example: Min[{-2, 12, -23, 17, 15}] yields -23.

Note: If the input consists of non-numeric objects, then Min[] considers the numbers associated with those objects. For example, Min[List of Segments] will yield the minimum segment length.
Min[ <Function>, <left-x>, <right-x> ]: Calculates (numerically) the minimum point for function in the given interval. Function should be continuous and have only one local minimum point in the interval.; Example: Min[ x^3 + 2x^2 - 1, -2, 0] creates the point (0, -1).

Min[ <Interval> ]: Returns the lower bound of the interval.; Example: Min[2 < x < 3] yields 2 .

Note: Opened and closed intervals are not distinguished.
