Abstract
The general concepts concerning real-valued functions of a single variable were exhibited (see Chap. 5). The linear function (Chap. 7) and some circular functions (Chap. 8) were studied. The properties of the real-valued functions, such as monotonicity and invertibility are now considered and other classes of real-valued functions of a single real variable are defined: the power, the exponential function and the logarithm which, along with the linear and circular functions, are known as elementary functions. The domain and the range of the functions in each class and the basic analytic and geometric properties are defined.
