The textbook
The student workbook
Like Active Prelude and Active Single, Active Multi is a textbook designed to be worked in, rather than one that has all of the work already completed.
Instructors interested in using Active Multi should visit the Instructors page to learn more about available supporting materials and to join the Google Group for Instructors.
Active Multi is designed to support an active learning approach in the third semester of calculus, including more than 150 activities and nearly 1,000 exercises. In the HTML version, more than 800 of the exercises are available as anonymous interactive WeBWorK exercises. The WeBWorK exercises can be assigned for grading by using Runestone.Academy. There are also interactive 3D full-color graphics throughout the text.
The downloadable PDF contains QR codes that link to the interactive versions of the three-dimensional graphics. It also includes automated screenshots of each interactive three-dimensional graphic. Most of these need attention, and they will get adjusted during the 2026–2027 academic year in preparation for a hardcopy version of the text that can be purchased online. The softcover version of Active Multi that is available on Amazon is the 1st edition!
