For what its worth, a transcendental function is one which cannot be
expressed in algebraic terms.

so:

NAhE + "algebraic" + fancu

is what you're looking for.

Or, possibly fanc + fu'ivla-ization("transcendental")


"beyond calculation" is sort of incorrect. for instance, the natural log
of 1 is 0. (yet, the natural log is transcendental. though i'm not sure if
this is a place where the definition of transcendental breaks down.)
