Chebyshev theorem on the integration of binomial differentials
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
The indefinite integral of the binomial differential
where a and b are real numbers and m, n and p are rational numbers, cannot be expressed in terms of elementary functions for any m, n and p, except in the case where (at least) one of p, (m+1)/n and p + (m+1)/n is an integer. Obtained by P.L. Chebyshev (1853).
