NaN is considered the absolute minimum
Note for floating point types like Double and Single (float) that can be NaN, when using Max<TSource> or Min<TSource> extension methods, the value of not a number (NaN) is considered to be the absolute minimum. Excerpt from the .NET Framework source:
                    // Normally NaN < anything is false, as is anything < NaN
                    // However, this leads to some irksome outcomes in Min and Max.
                    // If we use those semantics then Min(NaN, 5.0) is NaN, but
                    // Min(5.0, NaN) is 5.0!  To fix this, we impose a total
                    // ordering where NaN is smaller than every value, including
                    // negative infinity.
