The problem of integration in finite terms
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give a precise definition of the elementary functions and develop the theory of integration of functions of a single varia' Z. They also give an algorithm for determining the elementary integrability of those elementary functions which can be built up (roughly speaking) using only the rational operations, exponentiation and taking logarithms; however, if these exponentiations and logariths can be replaced by adjoining constants and performing algebraic operations, the algorithm, as it is presented here, cannot be applied.
