- Up-to-date, relevant presentation
- Continued pedagogical innovation
Beginning & Intermediate Algebra Program with Digital Resources
From basic equations to logarithmic functions, develop a strong foundation in algebra with a welcoming introductory program
Clear Understanding in Real-Time
Concept checks help students gauge their grasp of an idea as it is presented to prevent early misconceptions from becoming later problems.
Relevance to the Modern Learner
Updated applications for the math students learn include social media use, stock share prices, and job growth predictions. The new data keeps students interested and engaged throughout the course
Focus on Learning Abilities
A study skills focus helps students make the most of study time. Resources include Section 1.1 Tips for Success in Mathematics, a Video Notebook to encourage good note-taking, and guidance in MyMathLab.
Structured for Learning
Students are at their most teachable when preparing for a test. End-of-chapter materials use that motivation to reinforce concepts, check understanding, and avoid errors.

Elayn Martin-Gay Author BioElayn 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 MyMathLab for School course, all specializing in developmental mathematics courses. She has also published series in Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry. She has participated as an author across a broad range of educational materials: textbooks, videos, tutorial software, and courseware.
