Elayn Martin-Gay has taught mathematics at the University of New Orleans for more than 25 years. Her numerous teaching awards include the local University Alumni Association’s Award for Excellence in Teaching, and Outstanding Developmental Educator at University of New Orleans, presented by the Louisiana Association of Developmental Educators.

Prior to writing textbooks, Elayn Martin-Gay developed an acclaimed series of lecture videos to support developmental mathematics students. These highly successful videos originally served as the foundation materials for her texts. Today, the videos are specific to each book in her series. She has also created Chapter Test Prep Videos to help students during their most “teachable moment” – as they prepare for a test – along with Instructor-to-Instructor videos that provide teaching tips, hints, and suggestions for every developmental mathematics course, including basic mathematics, prealgebra, beginning algebra, and intermediate algebra.

Elayn is the author of 13 published textbooks and a new Interactive Assignment MyLab Math course, all specializing in developmental mathematics courses. She has participated as an author across a broad range of educational materials: textbooks, videos, tutorial software, and courseware. This offers an opportunity for multiple combinations for an integrated teaching and learning package, offering great consistency for the student.

About the program

Elayn Martin-Gay is known for her accessible writing style with built-in support, including an emphasis on study skills.

• In-text study skills resources include Section 1.1, Tips for Success in Mathematics, in which Elayn covers important strategies for success, with videos to motivate for each objective. Additional in-text student resources include the Student Resources section in the back of the text, which includes Study Skill Builders, a Study Guide Outline, and Practice Final Exam.
• Detailed step-by-step examples provide guidance for students, and practice margin exercises are paired with each example to actively involve students in the learning process.
• Helpful Hints, strategically placed where students are most likely to need immediate reinforcement, help students avoid common trouble areas and mistakes.
• All exercise sets have been carefully updated with this revision. Several special types of exercises throughout the text include Mixed Practice, Concept Extension, and more!
• The Martin-Gay video program provides students with support on concepts wherever and whenever they need it. Videos are always presented in Elayn’s hallmark friendly style.
• Section lecture videos highlight key examples and exercises. Shorter, objective-level video clips are also available for student ease of use, and easier instructor assignability.
• Interactive Concept Checks measure students’ understanding of key concepts and common trouble spots. After the viewer selects an answer from several multiple-choice options, Martin-Gay explains why the answer is correct or incorrect.
  
• Assignable Video Check questions assess whether students have viewed and understood the key concepts presented in the videos.
