- Min[ <List> ]
- 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[ <Interval> ]
- Returns the lower bound of the interval.
- Example:
Min[2 < x < 3]yields 2 .
- Note: Opened and closed intervals are not distinguished.
- Min[ <Number>, <Number> ]
- Returns the minimum of the two given numbers.
- Example:
Min[12, 15]yields 12.
- Min[ <Function>, <Start x-Value>, <End x-Value> ]
- 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).
CAS Syntax
- Min[ <List> ]
- Returns the minimum of the numbers within the list.
- Example:
Min[{-2, 12, -23, 17, 15}]yields -23.
- Min[ <Number>, <Number> ]
- Returns the minimum of the two given numbers.
- Example:
Min[12, 15]yields 12.
Note: See also Max Command, Extremum Command and Function Inspector Tool.
