When the first attempt failed, I looked at what ?min said, and didn't get much out of it. Had it mentioned "see also min_symbolic" or something of the kind, that would have been a clue.
It can't: it's a python built-in and its docstring is the standard python-provided one. In that context there is no min_symbolic. A web search for "sage min function" does yield https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/reference/functions/sage/functions/min_max.html as one of the top results, so such searches may be a work-around for the less-than-complete documentation we get from building on a general-purpose computer language. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
