Your first link is not working for me on mobile. Thanks for the clarification though. Exp(x^2) is a finite composition of a polynomial and an exponential function so from what you …

I don't think it makes sense to the same degree. Simple compositions of elementary functions, e.g. exp(x^2), do not have indefinite integrals. Autodiff provides benefit since diffe…
