fMax

Given an expression in x, returns the value of x for which the

expression has its maximum value. Given an expression and

a variable, returns the value of that variable for which the

expression has its maximum value.

fMax(Expr,[Var])

Example:

fMax(-x^2+2*x+1,x)

gives

1

fMin

Given an expression in x, returns the value of x for which the

expression has its minimum value. Given an expression and a

variable, returns the value of that variable for which the

expression has its minimum value.

fMin(Expr,[Var])

Example:

fMin(x^2-2*x+1,x)

gives

1

p (the modulus), returns the fraction a/b such that n=a/b(mod

p).

fracmod(Integern, Integerp)

Example:

fracmod(41,121)

gives

2/3
