Hello. I see the error function is said to be "non-elementary". What does this mean, exactly? I was under the impression that the division of functions into elementary and special functions, and other categories, was pretty arbitrary. Maybe someone can clarify this point. Is there a more precise category that erf falls into? I'm grasping at straws here -- maybe some group or other algebraic structure? Happy editing, Wile E. Heresiarch 04:09, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)
