Abstract
ActiveMath is a web-based intelligent tutoring system for mathematics. This article presents the technical and pedagogical goals of ActiveMath, its principles of design and architecture, its knowledge representation, and its adaptive behavior. In particular, we concentrate on those features that rely on AI-techniques.
