MAA Books for Active Learning

Some people like to write their own notes for their active learning classroom. However, many resources that we've already shared on this blog, like the Art of Mathematics and the Journal of Inquiry Based Learning, provide great textbooks and resources you can use. The MAA also has several books that are useful for an Active Learning Approach.
