<h1 id="function-min">Function min <a href="#function-min" title="Permalink">#</a></h1>
Compute the minimum value of a matrix or a list of values.
In case of a multi dimensional array, the minimum of the flattened array
will be calculated. When `dim` is provided, the minimum over the selected
dimension will be calculated. Parameter `dim` is zero-based.

```js
math.min(a, b, c, ...)
math.min(A)
math.min(A, dim)
```

```js
math.min(2, 1, 4, 3) // returns 1
math.min([2, 1, 4, 3]) // returns 1
// minimum over a specified dimension (zero-based)
math.min([[2, 5], [4, 3], [1, 7]], 0) // returns [1, 3]
math.min([[2, 5], [4, 3], [1, 7]], 1) // returns [2, 3, 1]
math.max(2.7, 7.1, -4.5, 2.0, 4.1) // returns 7.1
math.min(2.7, 7.1, -4.5, 2.0, 4.1) // returns -4.5
