I think it should be stated earlier in the article and more clearly that Elementary functions are a strict subset of Primitive Recursive functions. It isn't explained until the last paragraph of the article, and the summary at the top of the article is misleading in this regard.

  • I added a bit to the summary. Hopefully it clarifies and doesn't just confuse more hah. But you're right: there should be something in the summary to provide a clear relationship to the primitive recursive functions. Mofoburrell 20:50, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
