in mathematical language…without which means it is humanly

Elementary Function
Elementary Function
Function
In mathematics, an elementary function is a function of one variable which is the
composition of a finite number of arithmetic operations (+ – × ÷), exponentials,
logarithms, constants, and solutions of algebraic equations (a generalization of nth roots).
The elementary functions include the trigonometric and hyperbolic functions and their
inverses, as they are expressible with complex exponentials and logarithms.
It follows directly from the definition that the set of elementary functions is closed under
arithmetic operations and composition. It is also closed under differentiation. It is not
closed under limits and infinite sums.
Elementary functions are analytic at all but a finite number of points.

a change in one variable
is always accompanied by a change in some other(s)
And If
the magnitude of that change can be expressed by a constant
defined as the coefficient of proportionality
or the proportionality constant

    © Art Traynor2011 Mathematics Elementary Function Elementary Function Function In mathematics, an elementary function is a function of one variable which is the composition of a finite number of arithmetic operations (+ – × ÷), exponentials, logarithms, constants, and solutions of algebraic equations (a generalization of nth roots). The elementary functions include the trigonometric and hyperbolic functions and their inverses, as they are expressible with complex exponentials and logarithms. It follows directly from the definition that the set of elementary functions is closed under arithmetic operations and composition. It is also closed under differentiation. It is not closed under limits and infinite sums. Elementary functions are analytic at all but a finite number of points.
