convert/elementary

convert special functions in an expression into elementary functions

 Calling Sequence convert(expr, elementary)

Parameters

 expr - Maple expression, equation, or a set or list of them

Description

 • convert/elementary converts, when possible, the special functions in an expression into elementary transcendental functions. The elementary transcendental functions are

 The 26 functions in the "elementary" class are:
