I get very annoyed at the current generation of thickos who view simple mathematic proof as some sort of inherent challenge to their very existence. The fact that they were too bone idle to learn mathematics shouldn't mean that they have a right to decry those who did actually work harder at school.....
This is a bit harsh, maybe?

BEagle - it would seem that you were predisposed to understanding these functions from the womb, and were 'streamed' in the mathematical sense to then go on to design the wonderful flying machines in which we now indulge our innermost freedom fantasies.

I, for one, prefer to look at the chart and trust that august societies have put together the graphs to inform, not deceive! Do you consult PANSOPS before any approach to check the veracity of the DA/H?

It's blindingly obvious, by inspection, that the expression refers to a minimum!
How so? Once again, I prefer the graphical representation. Then again, I am too bone idle and not prepared to learn mathematics.
