A great discovery solves a great problem but there is a grain of discovery in the solution
of any problem. Your problem may be modest; but if it challenges your curiosity and
brings into play your inventive faculties, and if you solve it by your own means, you may
experience the tension and enjoy the triumph of discovery. george polya
The art of teaching, Mark Van Doren said, is the art of assisting discovery. In this Ninth
Edition, Metric Version, as in all of the preceding editions, we continue the tradition
of writing a book that, we hope, assists students in discovering calculus — both for its
practical power and its surprising beauty. We aim to convey to the student a sense of the
utility of calculus as well as to promote development of technical ability. At the same
time, we strive to give some appreciation for the intrinsic beauty of the subject. Newton
undoubtedly experienced a sense of triumph when he made his great discoveries. We
want students to share some of that excitement.
The emphasis is on understanding concepts. Nearly all calculus instructors agree that
conceptual understanding should be the ultimate goal of calculus instruction; to imple-
ment this goal we present fundamental topics graphically, numerically, algebraically,
and verbally, with an emphasis on the relationships between these different representa-
tions. Visualization, numerical and graphical experimentation, and verbal descriptions
can greatly facilitate conceptual understanding. Moreover, conceptual understanding
and technical skill can go hand in hand, each reinforcing the other.
We are keenly aware that good teaching comes in different forms and that there
are different approaches to teaching and learning calculus, so the exposition and exer-
cises are designed to accommodate different teaching and learning styles. The features
(including projects, extended exercises, principles of problem solving, and historical
insights) provide a variety of enhancements to a central core of fundamental concepts
and skills. Our aim is to provide instructors and their students with the tools they need
to chart their own paths to discovering calculus. Alternate Versions
The Stewart Calculus series includes several other calculus textbooks that might be
preferable for some instructors. Most of them also come in single variable and multi- variable versions.
• Calculus, Ninth Edition, Metric Version, is similar to the present textbook except
that the exponential, logarithmic, and inverse trigonometric functions are covered
after the chapter on integration.
• Essential Calculus, Second Edition, is a much briefer book (840 pages), though it
contains almost all of the topics in Calculus, Ninth Edition. The relative brevity is
achieved through briefer exposition of some topics and putting some features on the website. x PREFACE xi
• Essential Calculus: Early Transcendentals, Second Edition, resembles Essential
Calculus, but the exponential, logarithmic, and inverse trigonometric functions are covered in Chapter 3.
• Calculus: Concepts and Contexts, Fourth Edition, emphasizes conceptual under-
standing even more strongly than this book. The coverage of topics is not encyclo-
pedic and the material on transcendental functions and on parametric equations is
woven throughout the book instead of being treated in separate chapters.
• Brief Applied Calculus is intended for students in business, the social sciences, and the life sciences.
• Biocalculus: Calculus for the Life Sciences is intended to show students in the life
sciences how calculus relates to biology.
• Biocalculus: Calculus, Probability, and Statistics for the Life Sciences contains all
the content of Biocalculus: Calculus for the Life Sciences as well as three addi-
tional chapters covering probability and statistics.
What’s New in the Ninth Edition, Metric Version?
The overall structure of the text remains largely the same, but we have made many
improvements that are intended to make the Ninth Edition, Metric Version even more
usable as a teaching tool for instructors and as a learning tool for students. The changes
are a result of conversations with our colleagues and students, suggestions from users
and reviewers, insights gained from our own experiences teaching from the book, and
from the copious notes that James Stewart entrusted to us about changes that he wanted
us to consider for the new edition. In all the changes, both small and large, we have
retained the features and tone that have contributed to the success of this book.
• More than 20% of the exercises are new:
Basic exercises have been added, where appropriate, near the beginning of exer-
cise sets. These exercises are intended to build student confidence and reinforce
understanding of the fundamental concepts of a section. (See, for instance, Exer-
cises 7.3.1 – 4, 9.1.1 – 5, 11.4.3 – 6.)
Some new exercises include graphs intended to encourage students to understand
how a graph facilitates the solution of a problem; these exercises complement
subsequent exercises in which students need to supply their own graph. (See
Exercises 6.2.1– 4, Exercises 10.4.43 – 46 as well as 53 – 54, 15.5.1 – 2, 15.6.9 – 12,
16.7.15 and 24, 16.8.9 and 13.)
Some exercises have been structured in two stages, where part (a) asks for the
setup and part (b) is the evaluation. This allows students to check their answer
to part (a) before completing the problem. (See Exercises 6.1.1 – 4, 6.3.3 – 4, 15.2.7 – 10.)
Some challenging and extended exercises have been added toward the end of
selected exercise sets (such as Exercises 6.2.87, 9.3.56, 11.2.79 – 81, and 11.9.47).
Titles have been added to selected exercises when the exercise extends a con-
cept discussed in the section. (See, for example, Exercises 2.6.66, 10.1.55 – 57, 15.2.80 – 81.)
Some of our favorite new exercises are 1.3.71, 3.4.99, 3.5.65, 4.5.55 – 58, 6.2.79,
6.5.18, 10.5.69, 15.1.38, and 15.4.3 – 4. In addition, Problem 14 in the Problems
Plus following Chapter 6 and Problem 4 in the Problems Plus following Chap-
ter 15 are interesting and challenging. xii PREFACE
• New examples have been added, and additional steps have been added to the solu-
tions of some existing examples. (See, for instance, Example 2.7.5, Example 6.3.5,
Example 10.1.5, Examples 14.8.1 and 14.8.4, and Example 16.3.4.)
• Several sections have been restructured and new subheads added to focus the
organization around key concepts. (Good illustrations of this are Sections 2.3, 11.1, 11.2, and 14.2.)
• Many new graphs and illustrations have been added, and existing ones updated, to
provide additional graphical insights into key concepts.
• A few new topics have been added and others expanded (within a section or
in extended exercises) that were requested by reviewers. (Examples include a
sub section on torsion in Section 13.3, symmetric difference quotients in Exer-
cise 2.7.60, and improper integrals of more than one type in Exercises 7.8.65 – 68.)
• New projects have been added and some existing projects have been updated.
(For instance, see the Discovery Project following Section 12.2, The Shape of a Hanging Chain.)
• Derivatives of logarithmic functions and inverse trigonometric functions are now
covered in one section (3.6) that emphasizes the concept of the derivative of an inverse function.
• Alternating series and absolute convergence are now covered in one section (11.5).
• The chapter on Second-Order Differential Equations, as well as the associated
appendix section on complex numbers, has been moved to the website. Features
Each feature is designed to complement different teaching and learning practices.
Throughout the text there are historical insights, extended exercises, projects, problem-
solving principles, and many opportunities to experiment with concepts by using tech-
nology. We are mindful that there is rarely enough time in a semester to utilize all of
these features, but their availability in the book gives the instructor the option to assign
some and perhaps simply draw attention to others in order to emphasize the rich ideas
of calculus and its crucial importance in the real world. n Conceptual Exercises
The most important way to foster conceptual understanding is through the problems that
the instructor assigns. To that end we have included various types of problems. Some
exercise sets begin with requests to explain the meanings of the basic concepts of the
section (see, for instance, the first few exercises in Sections 2.2, 2.5, 11.2, 14.2, and
14.3) and most exercise sets contain exercises designed to reinforce basic understanding
(such as Exercises 2.5.3 – 10, 5.5.1 – 8, 6.1.1 – 4, 7.3.1 – 4, 9.1.1 – 5, and 11.4.3 – 6). Other
exercises test conceptual understanding through graphs or tables (see Exercises 2.7.17,
2.8.36 – 38, 2.8.47 – 52, 9.1.23 – 25, 10.1.30 – 33, 13.2.1 – 2, 13.3.37 – 43, 14.1.41 – 44,
14.3.2, 14.3.4 – 6, 14.6.1 – 2, 14.7.3 – 4, 15.1.6 – 8, 16.1.13 – 22, 16.2.19 – 20, and 16.3.1 – 2).
Many exercises provide a graph to aid in visualization (see for instance Exer-
cises 6.2.1 – 4, 10.4.43 – 46, 15.5.1 – 2, 15.6.9 – 12, and 16.7.24). Another type of exercise
uses verbal descriptions to gauge conceptual understanding (see Exercises 2.5.12,
2.8.66, 4.3.79 – 80, and 7.8.79). In addition, all the review sections begin with a Concept Check and a True-False Quiz. PREFACE xiii
We particularly value problems that combine and compare graphical, numerical, and
algebraic approaches (see Exercises 2.6.45 – 46, 3.7.29, and 9.4.4). n Graded Exercise Sets
Each exercise set is carefully graded, progressing from basic conceptual exercises, to
skill-development and graphical exercises, and then to more challenging exercises that
often extend the concepts of the section, draw on concepts from previous sections, or
involve applications or proofs. n Real-World Data
Real-world data provide a tangible way to introduce, motivate, or illustrate the concepts
of calculus. As a result, many of the examples and exercises deal with functions defined
by such numerical data or graphs. These real-world data have been obtained by contact-
ing companies and government agencies as well as researching on the Internet and in
libraries. See, for instance, Figure 1 in Section 1.1 (seismograms from the Northridge
earthquake), Exercise 2.8.36 (number of cosmetic surgeries), Exercise 5.1.12 (velocity
of the space shuttle Endeavour), Exercise 5.4.83 (power consumption in the New Eng-
land states), Example 3 in Section 14.4 (the heat index), Figure 1 in Section 14.6 (tem-
perature contour map), Example 9 in Section 15.1 (snowfall in Colorado), and Figure 1
in Section 16.1 (velocity vector fields of wind in San Francisco Bay). n Projects
One way of involving students and making them active learners is to have them work
(perhaps in groups) on extended projects that give a feeling of substantial accomplish-
ment when completed. There are three kinds of projects in the text.
Applied Projects involve applications that are designed to appeal to the imagina-
tion of students. The project after Section 9.5 asks whether a ball thrown upward takes
longer to reach its maximum height or to fall back to its original height (the answer
might surprise you). The project after Section 14.8 uses Lagrange multipliers to deter-
mine the masses of the three stages of a rocket so as to minimize the total mass while
enabling the rocket to reach a desired velocity.
Discovery Projects anticipate results to be discussed later or encourage discovery
through pattern recognition (see the project following Section 7.6, which explores pat-
terns in integrals). Other discovery projects explore aspects of geometry: tetrahedra
(after Section 12.4), hyperspheres (after Section 15.6), and intersections of three cyl-
inders (after Section 15.7). Additionally, the project following Section 12.2 uses the
geometric definition of the derivative to find a formula for the shape of a hanging chain.
Some projects make substantial use of technology; the one following Section 10.2
shows how to use Bézier curves to design shapes that represent letters for a laser printer.
Writing Projects ask students to compare present-day methods with those of the
founders of calculus — Fermat’s method for finding tangents, for instance, following
Section 2.7. Suggested references are supplied.
More projects can be found in the Instructor’s Guide. There are also extended exer-
cises that can serve as smaller projects. (See Exercise 4.7.53 on the geometry of beehive
cells, Exercise 6.2.87 on scaling solids of revolution, or Exercise 9.3.56 on the forma- tion of sea ice.) n Problem Solving
Students usually have difficulties with problems that have no single well-defined
procedure for obtaining the answer. As a student of George Polya, James Stewart xiv PREFACE
experienced first-hand Polya’s delightful and penetrating insights into the process
of problem solving. Accordingly, a modified version of Polya’s four-stage problem-
solving strategy is presented following Chapter 1 in Principles of Problem Solving.
These principles are applied, both explicitly and implicitly, throughout the book. Each of
the other chapters is followed by a section called Problems Plus, which features examples
of how to tackle challenging calculus problems. In selecting the Problems Plus prob-
lems we have kept in mind the following advice from David Hilbert: “A mathematical
problem should be difficult in order to entice us, yet not inaccessible lest it mock our
efforts.” We have used these problems to great effect in our own calculus classes; it is
gratifying to see how students respond to a challenge. James Stewart said, “When I put
these challenging problems on assignments and tests I grade them in a different way . . .
I reward a student significantly for ideas toward a solution and for recognizing which
problem-solving principles are relevant.” n Technology
When using technology, it is particularly important to clearly understand the con-
cepts that underlie the images on the screen or the results of a calculation. When
properly used, graphing calculators and computers are powerful tools for discovering
and understanding those concepts. This textbook can be used either with or without
technology — we use two special symbols to indicate clearly when a particular type of
assistance from technology is required. The icon ; indicates an exercise that definitely
requires the use of graphing software or a graphing calculator to aid in sketching a
graph. (That is not to say that the technology can’t be used on the other exercises as
well.) The symbol means that the assistance of software or a graphing calculator is
needed beyond just graphing to complete the exercise. Freely available websites such
as WolframAlpha.com or Symbolab.com are often suitable. In cases where the full
resources of a computer algebra system, such as Maple or Mathematica, are needed, we
state this in the exercise. Of course, technology doesn’t make pencil and paper obsolete.
Hand calculation and sketches are often preferable to technology for illustrating and
reinforcing some concepts. Both instructors and students need to develop the ability
to decide where using technology is appropriate and where more insight is gained by
working out an exercise by hand. n WebAssign: webassign.net

Diagnostic Tests The book begins with four diagnostic tests, in Basic Algebra, Analytic Geometry, Func- tions, and Trigonometry.
A Preview of Calculus This is an overview of the subject and includes a list of questions to motivate the study of calculus.
1 Functions and Models From the beginning, multiple representations of functions are stressed: verbal, numeri-
cal, visual, and algebraic. A discussion of mathematical models leads to a review of the
standard functions, including exponential and logarithmic functions, from these four points of view.
2 Limits and Derivatives The material on limits is motivated by a prior discussion of the tangent and veloc-
ity problems. Limits are treated from descriptive, graphical, numerical, and algebraic
points of view. Section 2.4, on the precise definition of a limit, is an optional section.
Sections 2.7 and 2.8 deal with derivatives (including derivatives for functions defined
graphically and numerically) before the differentiation rules are covered in Chapter 3.
Here the examples and exercises explore the meaning of derivatives in various contexts.
Higher derivatives are introduced in Section 2.8.
3 Differentiation Rules All the basic functions, including exponential, logarithmic, and inverse trigonometric
functions, are differentiated here. The latter two classes of functions are now covered in
one section that focuses on the derivative of an inverse function. When derivatives are
computed in applied situations, students are asked to explain their meanings. Exponen-
tial growth and decay are included in this chapter.
4 Applications of Differentiation The basic facts concerning extreme values and shapes of curves are deduced from the
Mean Value Theorem. Graphing with technology emphasizes the interaction between
calculus and machines and the analysis of families of curves. Some substantial optimi-
zation problems are provided, including an explanation of why you need to raise your
head 42° to see the top of a rainbow.
5 Integrals The area problem and the distance problem serve to motivate the definite integral, with
sigma notation introduced as needed. (Full coverage of sigma notation is provided in
Appendix E.) Emphasis is placed on explaining the meanings of integrals in various
contexts and on estimating their values from graphs and tables.
6 Applications of Integration This chapter presents the applications of integration — area, volume, work, average
value — that can reasonably be done without specialized techniques of integration.
General methods are emphasized. The goal is for students to be able to divide a quantity
into small pieces, estimate with Riemann sums, and recognize the limit as an integral.
