When can a primitive of a given algebraic function be con-structed by iteratively solving algebraic equations and composing withthe primitives of some other given algebraic functions or their inverses? We establish some results in this direction. Specifically, we establishdecision procedures for determining whether a given primitive can beexpressed in terms of finitely many others, or in terms of elliptic integrals.
