I would like a way to explicitly find the minimum of a list of exact numbers. Is there a way to get the above to evaluate to 2^(1/2)? I also want to be able to select an expression in a list which is smallest when any symbols are given numerical values. I could do this if I knew how to find the subscript of a member of a list which is smallest. Thanks for any help. Roger Kirchner
