The Active Calculus Users Google Group for instructors has more than 500 current members; any instructor using one of the three texts (or considering one of them) is welcome. Joining the Google group and following our blog are the best ways to stay appraised of resources and updates. There is also an Active Calculus – Multivariable Users Google Group that those who use Active Multi are invited to join.
Every August, we provide an updated post in the Google group on ancillary materials and resources that are available for three textbooks. Ancillaries include sample syllabi and course calendars for each course, learning targets for standards-based grading, WeBWorK .def files and information about other materials available upon request, such as supplementary homework exercises, lab activities, and quiz banks.
If you are new to using one of the texts, reading the Students!Read this! and Instructors! Read this! sections of the Active Single preface will give you a good introduction to important things about each book.
The HTML version of each text should always be viewed as the most current and accurate, because it is far easier to update and post the HTML; the posted PDF of each text should be used primarily as an option that doesn’t require internet access (once downloaded) and that can be marked up on a tablet. If you are using the single variable text, be sure to read about the differences between the 1st edition and the 2nd edition.
In the front matter of each text, you can see the date on which the HTML was last updated. For example, Active Single.
