- Min[ <Number a>, <Number b> ]
- Gives the minimum of the given numbers a and b.
- Example:
Min[12, 15]yields 12.
- Min[ <List of Numbers> ]
- Gives 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 have only one minimum point in the interval.
Note: See also Extremum Command and Function Inspector Tool.
- Min[ <Interval> ]
- Gives the lower bound of the interval, e.g.
Min[2 < x < 3]returns 2. It is the same for open and closed intervals.
CAS Syntax
- Min[ <Number a>, <Number b> ]
- Yields the minimum of the given numbers a and b.
- Example:
Min[12, 15]yields 12.
- Min[ <List of Numbers> ]
- Yields the minimum of the numbers within the list.
- Example:
Min[{-2, 12, -23, 17, 15}]yields -23.
