Typically the functions min and max return the minumum or maximum value of a list of operands. For example

x:=max(1.1,2.2,3.3,-5.5) would return 3.3 and like wise for minimum.

The SMath functions min and max return the minimum or maximum value of a matrix.

To accomplish this in SMath requires a lot of if ... else statements.

Can this be implemented in SMath and make the min and max functions mmin and mmax for matrix operations?

Or I realized, the function can check to see if the parameter passed is a matrix or vector, then do what it currently does. If its a list of operands, return the min or max of the list of values.

Yes, this is optimal way how it should work. I'll try to find a time to improve min(..) and max(..) functions later.
