Ch 5 Dark World, Text equation uses min by code uses max

In the text discussing Tim's decreasing function for euclidean distance, the formula is displayed as:

This shows the minimum of the Euclidean distance and some value.

In the code (here shown as the PyMC3 version), the T.maximum is used:

def f_distance(gxy_pos, halo_pos, c):
    return T.maximum(euclidean_distance(gxy_pos, halo_pos), c)[:, None]

Shouldn't these two be the same?

Thanks!
