Prealgebra 5e is appropriate for a 1-sem course in Prealgebra, and was written to help students effectively make the transition from arithmetic to algebra. To reach this goal, Martin-Gay introduces algebraic concepts early and repeats them as she treats traditional arithmetic topics, thus laying the groundwork for the next algebra course your students will take.
Prealgebra and Introductory Algebra 2e is also available if you prefer to use one combined textbook for your 2-sem sequence of Prealgebra and Introductory Algebra (aka Beginning or Elementary algebra).
Elayn Martin-Gay, University of New Orleans An award-winning instructor and best-selling author, 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. In addition to this 5th Edition of Prealgebra, Elayn also authors Prealgebra and Introductory Algebra 2e and the recently published ©2007 Worktext Series: Basic College Mathematics 3e, Introductory Algebra 3e, Intermediate Algebra 3e, and Algebra A Combined Approach 3e and two new first editions worktexts, Basic College Mathematics with Early Integers, and Developmental Mathematics. Elayn Martin-Gay also authors a best-selling ©2005 Hardback Series: Beginning Algebra 4e, Intermediate Algebra 4e, Intermediate Algebra: A Graphing Approach 3e, and Beginning and Intermediate Algebra 3e. Prior to writing textbooks, Elayn developed an acclaimed series of lecture videos to support developmental mathematics students in their quest for success. These highly successful videos originally served as the foundation material for her texts. Today, the videos are specific to each book in the Martin-Gay series. Elayn also originated the Chapter Test Prep Video CD to help students as they prepare for a test - their most “teachable moment!” Elayn’s experience has made her aware of how busy instructors are and what a difference quality support makes. For this reason, she created the Instructor-to-Instructor video series. These videos provide instructors with suggestions for presenting specific math topics and concepts in basic mathematics, prealgebra, beginning algebra, and intermediate algebra. Seasoned instructors can use them as a source for alternate approaches in the classroom. New or adjunct faculty may find the CDs useful for review. Her textbooks and acclaimed video program support Elayn's passion of helping every student to succeed.
