Just as normal and stable distributions are natural limit distributions when considering linear combinations such as means of independent variables, extreme value distributions are natural limit distributions when considering min and max operations of independent variables. They naturally occur in contexts such as reliability and risk where one often needs to consider the smallest or largest extremes of some quantity.
