List of mathematical functions

In mathematics, some functions or groups of functions are important enough to deserve their own names. This is a listing of articles which explain some of these functions in more detail. There is a large theory of special functions which developed out of statistics and mathematical physics. A modern, abstract point of view contrasts large function spaces, which are infinite-dimensional and within which most functions are 'anonymous', with special functions picked out by properties such as symmetry, or relationship to harmonic analysis and group representations.

Elementary functions

edit

Elementary functions are functions built from basic operations (e.g. addition, exponentials, logarithms...)

Algebraic functions

edit

Algebraic functions are functions that can be expressed as the solution of a polynomial equation with integer coefficients.

Elementary transcendental functions

edit

Transcendental functions are functions that are not algebraic.
