   For the definition of algebraic functions, look e.g. at   
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_function . That are polynomials or   
   rational functions, with and without e.g. roots.   
   All other functions (the non-algebraic functions) are transcendental   
   functions. Take e.g. the standard functions (Special functions), e.g. sin,   
   arctan, exp, ln, LambertW, Gamma, erf, Si, si.   
   For transcendental functions, look e.g. at   
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendental_function .   
   For some Special functions, look e.g. at   
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_functions .
