2012-01-07 03:57:27 +0200	marked best answer	Min and functions Well, min is not what we call a symbolic function. Since `x` is earlier in the lexicographic order than `y`: `sage: var('y') y sage: min(x,y) x` We work around that like this. `sage: f(x,y) = 2*min_symbolic(x,y) sage: f(3,2) 4 sage: f(2,3) 4` This should probably be easier to find...

2012-01-06 12:06:02 +0200	asked a question	Min and functions Hi, I'm wondering why the next code doesn't work as intended: `myMin(x,y) = min(x,y) print myMin(3,2)` 3 However: `print min(3,2)` 2 In fact, Sage says that the function myMin is (x, y) \|--> x. Why is this? Is there a way I could use min in a symbolic expression?
