I think this article is wrong at the moment. Polynomials, ln, exp, trig and hyperbolic functions are not usually considered special functions, because they are elementary functions. The term "special function" is usually restricted to other analytic functions used for special purposes. The list here shows the sort of thing I mean. --Zundark, 2002 Jan 12

How about if we change it into "list of functions" and then have sections for elementary and special functions? --AxelBoldt

OK, I'll try doing that. --Zundark, 2002 Jan 12

This is my website of special functions example problems. It's all hypergeometric and gamma at the moment. Please someone add this link to the external links section of the main article if you think it's relevant and helpful.
