Author Description

"Active calculus multivariable, is different from most existing texts in at least the following ways: the text is available in html and is also free for students and instructors in.pdf format; in the electronic format, graphics are in full color; the text is open source, and interested instructors can download the original source files (written in preTeXt); the style of the text requires students to be active learners... there are very few worked examples in the text, with there instead being several activities per section that engage students in connecting ideas, solving problems, and developing understanding of key calculus ideas; each section begins with motivating questinos, a brief introduction, and a preview activity, all of which are designed to be read and completed prior to class; there are substantial WeBWorK exercises and additional challenging exercises in each section."--Back cover.
