About Elayn Martin-Gay

K. ELAYN MARTIN-GAY has taught mathematics at the University of New Orleans for more than 20 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 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 tapes specifically support each book in the Martin-Gay series.

Elayn is the author of over nine published textbooks as well as multimedia interactive mathematics, all specializing in developmental mathematics courses such as basic mathematics, prealgebra, beginning and intermediate algebra. She has provided author participation across he broadest range of materials: textbook, videos, tutorial software, and Interactive Math courseware. All the components are designed to work together. This offers an opportunity of various combinations for an integrated teaching and learning package offering great consistency and comfort for the student.
