Mathematical function [r]: Dependence between two quantities, one of which is given. ^[e]

Elementary function [r]: Mathematical functions built from a finite number of exponentials, logarithms, constants, one variable, and roots of equations through composition and combinations using the four elementary arithmetic operations (+ – × ÷). ^[e]

-'''Special function''' is a [[mathematical function]] with established definition and known properties. Usually, for a special function, there exist algorithms for the efficient [[evaluation]]. Some of special functions are implemented in the [[programming language]]s.
-The Important class of special functions is [[elementary functions]] which are bult-up from the [[algebraic functions]], summation, multiplication, the exponential and the inverse functions.
-Most of special functions are defined with simple [[differential equation]]s or integrals of [[elementary function]]s, or [[inverse function]]s of some elementary functions.
-Many special functions are [[holomorphic function|holomorphic]] on some wide domains in the [[complex plane]].
