PREFACE
This eleventh edition of Calculus maintains those aspects of previous editions that have led
to the series’ success—we continue to strive for student comprehension without sacrificing
mathematical accuracy, and the exercise sets are carefully constructed to avoid unhappy
surprises that can derail a calculus class.
All of the changes to the eleventh edition were carefully reviewed by outstanding teach-
ers comprised of both users and nonusers of the previous edition. The charge of this com-
mittee was to ensure that all changes did not alter those aspects of the text that attracted
users of the tenth edition and at the same time provide freshness to the new edition that
would attract new users.

NEW TO THIS EDITION

• Most of the pre-calculus material in the 10th edition Chapter 0 has been moved to Ap-
pendices, and the remaining Chapter 0 material is merged into Chapter 1.
• Some prose in other areas of the text has been tightened to enhance clarity and student
understanding.
• New applied exercises have been added to the book and some existing applied exercises
have been updated.

OTHER FEATURES

Flexibility This edition has a built-in flexibility that is designed to serve a broad spec-
trum of calculus philosophies—from traditional to “reform.” Technology can be empha-
sized or not, and the order of many topics can be permuted freely to accommodate each
instructor’s specific needs.

Rigor The challenge of writing a good calculus book is to strike the right balance be-
tween rigor and clarity. Our goal is to present precise mathematics to the fullest extent
possible in an introductory treatment. Where clarity and rigor conflict, we choose clarity;
however, we believe it to be important that the student understand the difference between
a careful proof and an informal argument, so we have informed the reader when the argu-
ments being presented are informal or motivational. Theory involving -δ arguments ap-
pears in separate sections so that they can be covered or not, as preferred by the instructor.

Rule of Four The “rule of four” refers to presenting concepts from the verbal, algebraic,
visual, and numerical points of view. In keeping with current pedagogical philosophy, we
used this approach whenever appropriate.

Visualization This edition makes extensive use of modern computer graphics to clarify
concepts and to develop the student’s ability to visualize mathematical objects, particularly

x Preface

those in 3-space. For those students who are working with graphing technology, there are
many exercises that are designed to develop the student’s ability to generate and analyze
mathematical curves and surfaces.

Quick Check Exercises Each exercise set begins with approximately five exercises
(answers included) that are designed to provide students with an immediate assessment
of whether they have mastered key ideas from the section. They require a minimum of
computation and are answered by filling in the blanks.

Focus on Concepts Exercises Each exercise set contains a clearly identified group of
problems that focus on the main ideas of the section.

Technology Exercises Most sections include exercises that are designed to be solved
using either a graphing calculator or a computer algebra system such as Mathematica,
Maple, or the open source program Sage. These exercises are marked with an icon for easy
identification.

Applicability of Calculus One of the primary goals of this text is to link calculus
to the real world and the student’s own experience. This theme is carried through in the
examples and exercises.

Career Preparation This text is written at a mathematical level that will prepare stu-
dents for a wide variety of careers that require a sound mathematics background, including
engineering, the various sciences, and business.

Trigonometry Summary and Review Deficiencies in trigonometry plague many


students, so we have included a substantial trigonometry review in Appendices A and J.

Appendix on Polynomial Equations Because many calculus students are weak in


solving polynomial equations, we have included an appendix (Appendix H) that reviews
the Factor Theorem, the Remainder Theorem, and procedures for finding rational roots.

Principles of Integral Evaluation The traditional Techniques of Integration is enti-


tled “Principles of Integral Evaluation” to reflect its more modern approach to the material.
The chapter emphasizes general methods and the role of technology rather than specific
tricks for evaluating complicated or obscure integrals.

Historical Notes The biographies and historical notes have been a hallmark of this text
from its first edition and have been maintained. All of the biographical materials have
been distilled from standard sources with the goal of capturing and bringing to life for the
student the personalities of history’s greatest mathematicians.

Margin Notes and Warnings These appear in the margins throughout the text to
clarify or expand on the text exposition or to alert the reader to some pitfall.

ISAAC NEWTON (1642–1727)

Newton was born in the village of Woolsthorpe, England. His father died be-
fore he was born and his mother raised him on the family farm. As a youth
he showed little evidence of his later brilliance, except for an unusual talent
with mechanical devices—he apparently built a working water clock and a
toy flour mill powered by a mouse. In 1661 he entered Trinity College in
Cambridge with a deficiency in geometry. Fortunately, Newton caught the eye
of Isaac Barrow, a gifted mathematician and teacher. Under Barrow’s guidance
Newton immersed himself in mathematics and science, but he graduated with-
out any special distinction. Because the bubonic plague was spreading rapidly
through London, Newton returned to his home in Woolsthorpe and stayed there
during the years of 1665 and 1666. In those two momentous years the entire
framework of modern science was miraculously created in Newton’s mind. He
discovered calculus, recognized the underlying principles of planetary motion
and gravity, and determined that “white” sunlight was composed of all col-
ors, red to violet. For whatever reasons he kept his discoveries to himself. In
1667 he returned to Cambridge to obtain his Master’s degree and upon gradu-
ation became a teacher at Trinity. Then in 1669 Newton succeeded his teacher,
Isaac Barrow, to the Lucasian chair of mathematics at Trinity, one of the most

lated the law of gravitation and used it to explain the motion of the moon, the
planets, and the tides; he formulated basic theories of light, thermodynamics, and hydro-
dynamics; and he devised and constructed the first modern reflecting telescope. Through-
out his life Newton was hesitant to publish his major discoveries, revealing them only to a

select circle of friends, perhaps because of a fear of criticism or controversy. In 1687, only
after intense coaxing by the astronomer, Edmond Halley (discoverer of Halley’s comet),
did Newton publish his masterpiece, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (The
Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy). This work is generally considered to be
the most important and influential scientific book ever written. In it Newton explained the
workings of the solar system and formulated the basic laws of motion, which to this day
are fundamental in engineering and physics. However, not even the pleas of his friends
could convince Newton to publish his discovery of calculus. Only after Leibniz published
his results did Newton relent and publish his own work on calculus.
After twenty-five years as a professor, Newton suffered depression and a nervous break-
down. He gave up research in 1695 to accept a position as warden and later master of the
London mint. During the twenty-five years that he worked at the mint, he did virtually no
scientific or mathematical work. He was knighted in 1705 and on his death was buried in
Westminster Abbey with all the honors his country could bestow. It is interesting to note
that Newton was a learned theologian who viewed the primary value of his work to be its
support of the existence of God. Throughout his life he worked passionately to date bib-
lical events by relating them to astronomical phenomena. He was so consumed with this
passion that he spent years searching the Book of Daniel for clues to the end of the world
and the geography of hell.
Newton described his brilliant accomplishments as follows: “I seem to have been only
like a boy playing on the seashore and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother
pebble or prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered
before me.”

GOTTFRIED WILHELM LEIBNIZ (1646–1716)


This gifted genius was one of the last people to have mastered most major
fields of knowledge—an impossible accomplishment in our own era of spe-
cialization. He was an expert in law, religion, philosophy, literature, politics,
geology, metaphysics, alchemy, history, and mathematics.
Leibniz was born in Leipzig, Germany. His father, a professor of moral
philosophy at the University of Leipzig, died when Leibniz was six years old.
The precocious boy then gained access to his father’s library and began reading
voraciously on a wide range of subjects, a habit that he maintained throughout
his life. At age fifteen he entered the University of Leipzig as a law student
and by the age of twenty received a doctorate from the University of Altdorf.
Subsequently, Leibniz followed a career in law and international politics, serv-
ing as counsel to kings and princes. During his numerous foreign missions,
Leibniz came in contact with outstanding mathematicians and scientists who
stimulated his interest in mathematics—most notably, the physicist Christian
Huygens. In mathematics Leibniz was self-taught, learning the subject by
reading papers and journals. As a result of this fragmented mathematical edu-
cation, Leibniz often rediscovered the results of others, and this helped to fuel
[Image: Public domain image from http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/ the debate over the discovery of calculus.
File:Gottfried_Wilhelm_von_ Leibniz.jpg] Leibniz never married. He was moderate in his habits, quick-tempered but
easily appeased, and charitable in his judgment of other people’s work.
In spite of his great achievements, Leibniz never received the honors showered on
Newton, and he spent his final years as a lonely embittered man. At his funeral there
was one mourner, his secretary. An eyewitness stated, “He was buried more like a robber
than what he really was—an ornament of his country.”

LIMITS AND CONTINUITY
The development of calculus in the seventeenth century by Newton and Leibniz provided
scientists with their first real understanding of what is meant by an “instantaneous rate of
change” such as velocity and acceleration. Once the idea was understood conceptually,
efficient computational methods followed, and science took a quantum leap forward. The
fundamental building block on which rates of change rest is the concept of a “limit,” an idea
that is so important that all other calculus concepts are now based on it.
In this chapter we will develop the concept of a limit in stages, proceeding from an
informal, intuitive notion to a precise mathematical definition. We will also develop

increasing indefinitely. The velocity approaches a We will conclude by studying continuity and other properties of trigonometric, inverse
limit, called the “terminal velocity.” trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions.

1.1 LIMITS (AN INTUITIVE APPROACH)


The concept of a “limit” is the fundamental building block on which all calculus concepts
are based. In this section we will study limits informally, with the goal of developing an
intuitive feel for the basic ideas. In the next three sections we will focus on computational
methods and precise definitions.

Many of the ideas of calculus originated with the following two geometric problems:

THE TANGENT LINE PROBLEM Given a function f and a point P(x0 , y0 ) on its graph,
find an equation of the line that is tangent to the graph at P (Figure 1.1.1).

Figure 1.1.1
THE AREA PROBLEM Given a function f , find the area between the graph of f and
an interval [a, b] on the x-axis (Figure 1.1.2).

Traditionally, that portion of calculus arising from the tangent line problem is called
differential calculus and that arising from the area problem is called integral calculus.
However, we will see later that the tangent line and area problems are so closely related
that the distinction between differential and integral calculus is somewhat artificial.

Figure 1.1.2 TANGENT LINES AND LIMITS


In plane geometry, a line is called tangent to a circle if it meets the circle at precisely one
point (Figure 1.1.3a). Although this definition is adequate for circles, it is not appropriate
for more general curves. For example, in Figure 1.1.3b, the line meets the curve exactly
once but is obviously not what we would regard to be a tangent line; and in Figure 1.1.3c,
the line appears to be tangent to the curve, yet it intersects the curve more than once.
To obtain a definition of a tangent line that applies to curves other than circles, we must
view tangent lines another way. For this purpose, suppose that we are interested in the
tangent line at a point P on a curve in the xy-plane and that Q is any point that lies on

Movement of Each Eye Singly


The movements of each eye individually are effected as follows:
The external rectus moves the eye directly outward; the internal rectus, directly inward.
The primary action of the superior rectus is to raise the eye. Because of the way in which the
muscles run, obliquely from within outward, its lifting action increases when the eye is abducted and
diminishes to little or nothing when the eye is adducted.
The inferior rectus carries the eye down. Owing to the oblique direction of the muscle, its depressing
action increases as the eye is abducted and decreases to zero as the eye is adducted.
The inferior oblique is inserted back of the equator of the eye. Hence it pulls the back part of the eye
down and consequently throws the front part up. It is thus an elevator of the eye, reinforcing the action
of the superior rectus. Owing to the way in which it runs, from the front backward and outward, its
elevating action is greatest when the eye is adducted, and diminishes to little or nothing when the eye is
abducted.
The superior oblique, so far as its action on the eyeball is concerned, may be regarded as arising
from the trochlea. From this point it runs backward and outward and is inserted back of the equator of
the eye. It there pulls up the back part of the eye and consequently throws the front part down. It is thus
a depressor, reinforcing the action of the inferior rectus. Owing to the oblique way in which it runs, its
depressing action is greatest when the eye is adducted, and diminishes to little or nothing when the eye
is abducted.

Subsidiary Actions
Besides these actions, rightly regarded as the main action of the ocular muscles, there are various
subsidiary actions, due to the oblique way in which the superior and inferior recti and the two obliques
run. Thus, both the superior and inferior recti adduct the eye, their action being most pronounced when
the eye is already adducted. The two obliques, on the other hand, abduct the eye and do so most
effectively when the eye is already abducted.
The superior rectus and superior oblique rotate the top of the vertical meridian of the eye inward
(intorsion); while the inferior oblique and inferior rectus rotate it outward (extorsion). The superior and
inferior recti act thus on the vertical meridian mainly when the eye is adducted; the oblique, on the other
hand, when the eye is abducted.
Hence the eye is adducted by the internal rectus, assisted toward the end of its course by the
superior and inferior recti. It is abducted by the external rectus, assisted toward the end of its course by
the two obliques. It is carried straight up by the superior rectus and inferior oblique, up and out by the
superior rectus and external rectus (the inferior oblique helping to carry it out, but not up; and in, mainly
by the inferior oblique and internal rectus). The superior rectus assists in carrying it in, but hardly up at
all.
The eye is likewise carried straight down by the inferior rectus and the superior oblique; down and
out by the inferior and external recti, and down and in by the superior oblique and internal recti.

Field of Action of Muscles


As will be seen, each muscle acts most energetically in some special direction of the gaze, termed
field of action of that particular muscle; thus the external rectus acts most powerfully when the eye is
directed outward, and acts little or not at all when the eye is directed inward, except by purely passive
traction. Likewise the superior rectus acts mainly when the eye is directed down. Furthermore, its action
is limited to the upper and outer field; for in the upper and inner field elevation is performed chiefly by
the inferior oblique.
This is also true of all the other muscles.

Direction of the Gaze


There are six cardinal directions of the gaze, each corresponding to the field of action of one of the
six ocular muscles as follows:
Cardinal Direction: Muscles Specially Active:
Straight out External rectus
Straight in Internal rectus
Up and out Superior rectus (as an elevator)
Up and in Inferior oblique (as an elevator)
Down and out Inferior rectus (as a depressor)
Down and in Superior oblique (as a depressor)
It is to be noted that the action of each muscle does not absolutely stop at the middle line, but
extends somewhat beyond it. Thus the action of the right externus extends not only throughout the
whole right half of the field of vision, but also some fifteen to twenty degrees to the left of the median
line; and that of the superior rectus extends not only above the horizontal plane but also somewhat
below.

Primary Position—Field of Fixation


Under normal conditions, when the head is erect and the eye is directed straight forward—that is,
when its line of sight is perpendicular to the line joining the centres of rotation of the two eyes in the
horizontal plane—the muscles are all balanced. This is called “the position of equilibrium” or the primary
position. It is this position which must be assumed by the patient in conducting tests for balance of the
muscles.
From the primary position, the eye may make excursions in every direction so that the patient can
look at a whole series of objects in succession without moving the head. This portion of space, occupied
by all the objects that may thus be seen directly by moving the eye without moving the head, is called
“the field of fixation.”
Binocular Movements
While either eye alone may move in all possible directions, one cannot move independently of the
other eye. Under ordinary circumstances, those movements only are possible which are regularly
required to subserve binocular vision, hence, binocular single vision, as well. These movements are as
follows:

Parallel Movements
When one eye looks at a distant object the other is also directed to it, so that the lines of sight of the
two eyes are parallel; if the distant object is moved about, the lines remain parallel, one moving as fast
and as far as the other. These parallel movements of the two eyes are executed with considerable
freedom in all directions, either eye being able to move readily to the right, left, up, down, or obliquely,
provided the other eye moves precisely with it.
In executing any parallel movement, each eye is acted upon by at least three and sometimes by as
many as five muscles. At times, but one of these muscles is required to produce any great movement of
the eye, the others simply serving to steady it in its course. Thus when we look up to the right, although
there are five muscles really acting upon each eye, the right eye is moved mainly by the external rectus
and the left eye by the internal rectus.
Similarly, when we look up and to the right, although other muscles take part, the superior rectus is
the chief muscle that moves the right eye up, and the external rectus the chief one that moves it to the
right; while for the left eye the inferior oblique and the internal rectus are the efficient muscles.
A careful study of the action of the individual muscles will make it clear that these facts hold good for
each of the cardinal directions of the gaze.
Furthermore, if we attentively consider the action of the twelve muscles moving the two eyes, we see
that they may be divided into three groups, viz.; four lateral rotators, four elevators and four depressors.

Lateral Rotators
Right rotators Left rotators
L. Internal rectus to R. Internal rectus
R. External rectus L. External rectus

Elevators
Right-handed elevators Left-handed elevators
(acting mainly when the (acting mainly when the
eyes are directed to the right) to eyes are directed to the left)
R. Superior rectus R. Inferior oblique
L. Inferior oblique L. Superior rectus

Depressors
Right-handed depressors Left-handed depressors
(acting mainly when the (acting mainly when the
eyes are directed to the right) to eyes are directed to the left)
R. Inferior oblique R. Superior oblique
L. Superior oblique L. Inferior rectus.
Each group, it will be seen, comprises two pairs of muscles; one pair acting solely when the eyes are
directed to the right, the other when they are directed to the left. It will further be noted that of the two
muscles constituting any one pair, one is situated in the right eye, the other in the left.
Eye Associates
The muscles forming any one pair are called associates. Any two associates acting together will
move their respective eyes in precisely the same direction and to the same extent. Thus the right
superior rectus moves the eye up to the left and rotates its vertical meridian to the left; and its associate,
the left inferior oblique, moves its eye up to the left and rotates its vertical meridian to the left. This
likewise applies to each of the other five groups of associates.
If one eye fails to keep pace with the other in executing parallel movements, diplopia ensues. If the
eyes are moved in all directions and the point noted where the patient just begins to see double, we
delimit the field of binocular single vision.
Normally, however, the two eyes maintain parallelism to the very limit of their excursion, so that
diplopia occurs only at the extreme periphery of the field of vision, if at all. In fact, the field of binocular
single vision usually extends not less than 40 degrees from the primary position in every direction.
Each of the various parallel movements of the eye appear to be governed by a distinct nerve
mechanism, there being one centre for movements to the right, one for movements to the left, one for
movements up, etc.

Movements of Convergence
In order to see an object at a nearby point, the eyes have to converge—a movement affected by a
simultaneous and equal contraction of both internal recti. This movement may be combined with a
vertical, lateral or oblique parallel movement. Thus, when we wish to look at a near object situated
twenty degrees to our right, we first turn both eyes twenty degrees to the right, then converge both
equally, turning the left a little more to the right and the right a little back toward the left.
Convergence is governed by a distinct mechanism of the nerves, the source of which has not been
determined.

Movements of Divergence
In passing from a position of convergence to a position of parallelism, the lines of sight separate or
diverge. This movement of divergence is a simultaneous, equal contraction of both externi; or, probably,
of both actions combined. The eyes may even diverge somewhat beyond parallelism, as in overcoming
prisms, base in, when looking at a distant object.

Vertical Divergence
The amount by which the lines of sight can separate in a vertical direction is very limited—at most
but one or two degrees.

Orthophoria
The term orthophoria is used to denote an absolutely normal balance of the extrinsic muscles, just as
the term emmetropia denotes a normal refractive condition. They are equally rare.

Heterophoria
The term heterophoria includes all those conditions in which there is a tendency to depart from
normal balance, but which nature is able to compensate for; while the term also includes the conditions
in which nature has been unequal to the task and an actual turning or squint has occurred.
Subdivisions
The subdivisions of these terms at first reading appear complicated, but prove simple enough on
closer study, indicating only the direction of the turning or tendency to turn. For instance:

Esophoria signifies inward tendency.


Exophoria signifies outward tendency.
Hyperphoria signifies upward tendency.
Hypophoria signifies downward tendency.
Cyclophoria signifies tendency to torsion.
Esotropia signifies inward turning.
Exotropia signifies outward turning.
Hypertropia signifies upward turning.
Hypotropia signifies downward turning.
Cyclotropia signifies actual torsion.
Combinations are describable in similar terms. A tendency of the right eye to turn up and inward, is a
“right hyperesophoria”; the left eye to turn down and out, a “left hyperexophoria,” etc. Tendencies of both
eyes together are denoted by the terms which follow:

Anaphoria signifies an upward tendency.


Kataphoria signifies a downward tendency.
Dextrophoria signifies a right tendency.
Laevophoria signifies a left tendency.
Chapter XVII
SYMPTOMS OF HETEROPHORIA

T hese depend on the kind of error present as well as the degree


and widely vary.
In general, they may be said to fall into three classes—(1)
defective vision, (2) pain of greater or less degree—(3) reflex
symptoms.
Defective Vision. The first class may be present, even though
each eye has a normal visual acuity; since, even when
compensation is very good, the brain gets the impression of two
objects, nearly, though not quite fused; and vision may be
considerably worse with both eyes together than with either eye
singly.
When compensation is considerably impaired, the diplopia
becomes more and more persistent, till the brain finally makes
choice of one image as more satisfactory, entirely suppressing the
other. Visual acuity may not suffer in either eye; but vision being no
longer binocular, everything is seen in the flat, the judgments of
depth and distance being regularly more or less defective. While this
is a tremendous disadvantage in many occupations, people
gradually and not infrequently become accustomed to these visual
defects and are not conscious of the handicap.
Pain. It is quite different with the second set of symptoms, which
are always accompanied with pain. In fact, the character of the
subjective symptoms in refractive errors and muscular imbalance is
so similar that it is practically impossible to differentiate in many
cases.
In muscular asthenopia, however, in addition to becoming easily
tired, the patient often complains that letters seem to jump or run
together or he may contend that he sees double for an instant; or
again that he can “feel his eyes turn” involuntarily in their sockets.
These pains or conditions are sometimes present only during actual
use of the eyes. At other times they persist for hours. In some cases,
after days or weeks of overstimulation, an explosion in migraine form
occurs at irregular intervals. This condition often lasts a day or two.
Reflex Symptoms. In the third and last case, there are other
reflex symptoms—such as dizziness, nausea, fainting, indigestion,
insomnia and pains in other portions of the body—sometimes
stimulating organic diseases.
The possibility of heterophoria as a factor in chorea, migraine,
neurasthenia and other diseases which may be primarily due to
unstable nerves, equilibrium is not to be forgotten. It is a notable fact
that when the fusion compensation fails so completely that one
image is entirely suppressed, or the diplopia is so great as to be
overlooked, the symptoms often cease entirely.

Treatment
The treatment of heterophoria depends on a careful study of
each individual case, but it cannot be too strongly emphasized that in
the great majority of cases the subjective symptoms disappear after
a full correction of the refraction is made.
In many cases, if the visual acuity in each eye be made normal,
the fusion impulse alone will be sufficient to restore compensation.
Many cases of esophoria result from overstimulation of the
centers for convergence and accommodation, made necessary by
hyperopia and astigmatism, entirely disappearing when glasses
abolish the need of accommodation. Cases of exophoria are
sometimes due to the abnormal relaxation of accommodation and
convergence which secures the best distant vision in myopia.
Likewise the correction of myopia, by increasing the far point, may
diminish the amount of convergence necessary for near vision.
Prisms for constant use are often prescribed, so placed as to
help the weak muscles and counteract the strong. For instance, in
esophoria we find the prism which, base in, will produce orthophoria
for distance and prescribe a quarter of it, base in, before each eye.
While this is very successful in some cases, the tendency in others is
for the externus to increase slightly from constant exercise in
overcoming the prism, while the internus decreases in proportion to
the amount of work of which it is relieved. Prisms for permanent use
are very beneficial in vertical deviations, since when the images are
brought on the same level they require much less effort to secure
fusion; and when prescribed base up or down, the effect secured is
commonly an unchanging one.
We sometimes take advantage of this tendency when we
prescribe for constant use weak prisms with the apex over the weak
muscle, which gradually becomes strong from the exercise of
overcoming it. This plan is effective only in patients who have a
strong fusion impulse, and the prism selected must be weak enough
to be easily overcome. We can accomplish the same effect by
decentering the patient’s refraction lenses.
For instance, a convex lens so placed that the visual line passes
the reverse will be the case if the lens is concave. The amount of
prismatic action depends on the strength of the lens and the amount
of decentering, the rule being that every centimeter of displacement
causes as many prism diopters as there are diopters in that meridian
of the lens. Thus +1 sphere, or cylinder axis 90, decentered one
centimeter outward, is equivalent to adding a one degree prism
diopter lens, base out.

Destrophoria and Laevophoria


These are terms denoting a condition in which both eyes are
capable of abnormal rotating toward the right or left, as the case may
be. The movement in the opposite direction is most common. The
patient can often rotate his eyes 60 degrees toward the right, and to
perhaps only 40 degrees to the left. His position of rest is parallel
with his visual lines, but to the right, in looking at objects directly in
front, he is much more comfortable with his head turned slightly to
the left.
It is difficult to account for, except on the theory that definite
movement of the eyes is rather to the right than to the left in most
occupations. The position of the paper in writing at a desk tends
toward dextrophoria; in reading, we move our eyes steadily from left
to right and then begin a new line by a single brief movement to the
left; the things that a man uses most—whether he be laborer or
student—are kept within reach of the right hand, and in referring to
them the eyes are constantly turned toward the right.
However, when these conditions result from other imbalances,
they must be treated more carefully. For instance, a patient whose
right internus is paralysed or congenitally defective on looking to the
left, has a cross diplopia which vanishes to the right; as a result, he
soon assumes a habit of carrying his head in this position. Ordinarily,
this will cause no discomfort; but if the left internus is so weak that it
cannot follow the right externus to its position of greatest ease, the
visual lines are evidently different and the case must be treated as
an exophoria.
If, on the other hand, the left internus over-balances the right
externus, the condition is an esophoria and must be treated as such.
Similar reasoning applies to the conditions known as Anaphoria
and Kataphoria, in which the visual lines are parallel to each other
but directed up or down with regard to the horizontal plane of the
body.
In the first, owing to congenital abnormalities, the eyes usually
tend upward and the individual must go about with his chin on his
chest, so that his eyes may look in front and yet remain in the
position of rest. In the second, the chin is held in the air and the body
arched backward.
But, unless extreme, neither of these conditions causes more
than cosmetic difficulty and both should be undisturbed owing to the
extreme difficulty of securing the same operative effect on both eyes.
Suitable prisms are much more likely to be beneficial.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend


considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe
and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating
the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may
be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to,
incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a
copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or
damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer
codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except


for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph
1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner
of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party
distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this
agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and
expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO
REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF
WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE
FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY
DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE
TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL,
PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE
NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you


discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it,
you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by
sending a written explanation to the person you received the work
from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must
return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity
that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a
replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work
electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to
give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in
lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may
demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the
problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in
paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO
OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied


warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the

interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted
by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
