minimum

In mathematical analysis, the maxima and minima (the respective plurals of maximum and minimum) of a function, known collectively as extrema (the plural of extremum), are the largest and smallest value of the function, either within a given range (the local or relative extrema), or on the entire domain (the global or absolute extrema). Pierre de Fermat was one of the first mathematicians to propose a general technique, adequality, for finding the maxima and minima of functions.
As defined in set theory, the maximum and minimum of a set are the greatest and least elements in the set, respectively. Unbounded infinite sets, such as the set of real numbers, have no minimum or maximum.

    Catchment spaces volumes?

    When you are checking the catchment space for fires, how do you convert the volume in mm to decimetres? My viper does not seem to mention it. Or if there is 75mm or 250mm from the bottom of the flue spigot, do you still need to work out how many decimtres it is? Cheers fellers
