fMin( (function minimum) and fMax( (function maximum) return the value at which the
local minimum or local maximum value of expression with respect to variable occurs,
between lower and upper values for variable. fMin( and fMax( are not valid in expression. The
accuracy is controlled by tolerance (if not specified, the default is 1âL5).
fMin(expression,variable,lower,upper[,tolerance])
fMax(expression,variable,lower,upper[,tolerance])
