Editing List of mathematical functions (section)

===Elementary transcendental functions===
[[Transcendental function]]s are functions that are not algebraic.
* [[Exponential function]]: raises a fixed number to a variable power.
* [[Hyperbolic function]]s: formally similar to the [[trigonometric functions]].
** [[Inverse hyperbolic functions]]: [[Inverse function|inverses]] of the [[hyperbolic functions]], analogous to the [[Inverse trigonometric functions|inverse circular functions]].

* [[Logarithm]]s: the inverses of exponential functions; useful to solve equations involving exponentials.
** [[Natural logarithm]]
** [[Common logarithm]]
** [[Binary logarithm]]
* [[Exponentiation#Power functions|Power functions]]: raise a variable number to a fixed power; also known as [[Allometric function]]s; note: if the power is a rational number it is not strictly a transcendental function.
* [[Periodic function]]s
** [[Trigonometric function]]s: [[sine]], [[cosine]], [[tangent (trigonometry)|tangent]], [[cotangent]], [[secant (trigonometry)|secant]], [[cosecant]], [[exsecant]], [[excosecant]], [[versine]], [[coversine]], [[vercosine]], [[covercosine]], [[haversine]], [[hacoversine]], [[havercosine]], [[hacovercosine]], [[Inverse trigonometric functions]] etc.; used in [[geometry]] and to describe periodic phenomena.
