Nonelementary antiderivatives

Integral Calculus

Using methods like integration by parts, u-sub or just algebra: Is it possible to turn an integral with an elementary antiderivative into nonelementary? What about vice versa?

Why: I tried to solve Int 1/arcsin(x) dx with u-sub and ended up with Int cos(u)/u du
