Comments on Rosenlicht’s Integration in finite terms. (English) Zbl 1511.26006

Raab, Clemens G. (ed.) et al., Integration in finite terms: fundamental sources. Cham: Springer. Texts Monogr. Symb. Comput., 11-30 (2022).
Summary: In 1968, M. Rosenlicht [Am. Math. Mon. 79, 963–972 (1972; Zbl 0249.12106)] published the first purely algebraic proof of Liouville’s Theorem on Integration in Finite Terms (which we will simply refer to as “Liouville’s Theorem”). This paper, together with R. H. Risch’s paper [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 139, 167–189 (1969; Zbl 0184.06702)], stimulated renewed interest in both the mathematical and algorithmic aspects of this area. The paper Integration in Finite Terms [M. Rosenlicht, in: Integration in finite terms: fundamental sources. Cham: Springer. 1–10 (2022; Zbl 1511.12002)] appearing in this volume presents the material of [Rosenlicht, loc. cit.] in a simplified form, suitable for an advanced undergraduate.
