Everything about Differential Galois Theory totally explained

In mathematics, the antiderivatives of certain elementary functions can't themselves be expressed as elementary functions. A standard example of such a function is ex2, whose antiderivative is (up to constants) the error function, familiar from statistics. Other examples include the functions:frac+Dv.

In other words, the only functions that have "elementary antiderivatives" (for example antiderivatives living in, at worst, an elementary differential extension of F) are those with this form prescribed by the theorem. Thus, on an intuitive level, the theorem states that the only elementary antiderivatives are the "simple" functions plus a finite number of logarithms of "simple" functions.

Do you know how hard it is to get a link from a large encyclopaedia? Well we're different and will prove it. To get a link from us just add the following HTML to your site on a relevant page:

    <a href="http://differential_galois_theory.totallyexplained.com">Differential Galois theory Totally Explained</a>

Then simply click through this link from your web page. Our crawlers will verify your link, extract the title of your web page and instantly add a link back to it. If you like you can remove the words Totally Explained and embed the link in article text.
   As long as your link remains in place, we'll keep our link to you right here. Please play fair - our crawlers are watching. Your site must be closely related to this one's topic. Any kind of spamming, dubious practises or removing the link will result in your link from us being dropped and, potentially, your whole site being banned.
