Transcendental function
Analytic function that does not satisfy a polynomial equation / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a transcendental function is an analytic function that does not satisfy a polynomial equation, in contrast to an algebraic function.[1][2] In other words, a transcendental function "transcends" algebra in that it cannot be expressed algebraically using a finite amount of terms.
Examples of transcendental functions include the exponential function, the logarithm, and the trigonometric functions.
