A transcendental function is a type of function that cannot be expressed as a solution of any algebraic equation with integer (or rational) coefficients. In other words, transcendental functions are not algebraic functions, which means they cannot be constructed from a finite number of additions, subtractions, multiplications, divisions, and taking roots of rational numbers.
