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 12 published textbooks and numerous multimedia interactive products, 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.
Elayn Martin-Gay's developmental math program is motivated by her firm belief that every student can succeed. Martin-Gay's focus on the student shapes her clear, accessible writing, inspires her constant pedagogical innovations, and contributes to the popularity and effectiveness of her video resources. This revision of Martin-Gay's algebra series continues her focus on students and what they need to be successful.
This program provides a better teaching and learning experience, for you and your students. Here’s how:
- The new Martin-Gay Student Success Program provides an integrated teaching and learning system—combining the textbook, MyMathLab®, student and video organizers, and the video program—which is designed to help students gain the math and study skills they need for success in developmental math and beyond.

New and Updated Features
- Student Success Tips Videos are 3- to -5 minute video segments designed to be a daily reminder to students to continue practicing and maintaining good organizational and study habits. They are organized in three categories and are available in MyMathLab and the Interactive Lecture Series. The categories are:
- Student Success Tips Videos that apply to any course in college in general, such as Time Management.
- Student Success Tips Videos that apply to any mathematics course. One example is based on understanding that mathematics is a course that requires homework to be completed in a timely fashion.
- 3. Section- or Content-specific Student Success Tips Videos to help students avoid common mistakes or to better understand concept that often prove challenging.
- Vocabulary, Readiness, and Video Check questions have been added to the start of every section’s exercise set:
- The Vocabulary exercises quickly check students’ understanding of the new vocabulary words.
- The Readiness exercises assess a students’ understanding of concepts that are necessary to continue with the exercise set.
- Video Check questions for the Martin-Gay Interactive Lecture videos are now provided for each learning objective. These exercises are all available in MyMathLab and are a great way to ensure students have viewed and understood the key concepts presented in the videos. Each exercise in MyMathLab links students directly to the video for viewing.
New Student and Instructor Resources
- The NEW Video Organizer is designed to help students take notes and work practice exercises while watching the Interactive lecture series (available in MyMathLab and on DVD).
- All content in the Video Organizer is presented in the same order as it is presented in the videos, making it easy for students to create a course notebook and build good study habits.
- The organizer provides ample space for students to write down key definitions and rules.
- The Video Organizer is available in loose-leaf, notebook-ready format and is also available in MyMathLab.
- Two MyMathLab course options are now available: a standard course and a Ready to Go course.
- Standard MyMathLab courses allow instructors to build their course their way, offering maximum flexibility and complete control over all aspects of assignment creation.
- The new Ready to Go courses provide students with all the same great MyMathLab features, but make it easier for instructors to get started. Each course includes pre-assigned homework and quizzes to make creating a course even easier.
- Both course options will feature the following items:
- All videos from the Martin-Gay Interactive Lecture Series.
- Student Organizer (PDF) with hyperlinks to all video.
- Pre-made (and pre-assigned in the Ready to Go course) section-level homework assignments.
- Pre-made (and pre-assigned in the Ready to Go course) Practice Final Exam.
- Pre-made (and pre-assigned in the Ready to Go course) Video Check assignments for every section.
- Premade chapter review quizzes that are pre-assigned in the Ready to Go course and generate personalized homework assignments based on students’ quiz results.
- Pre-made (and pre-assigned in the Ready to Go course) pre- and post-test for every chapter.
