The Martin-Gay principle: Every student can succeed

Elayn Martin-Gay’s student-centric approach is woven seamlessly throughout her texts and MyLab™ courses, giving students the optimal amount of support through effective video resources, an accessible writing style, and study skills support built into the program. 

Elayn’s legacy of innovations that support student success include Chapter Test Prep videos and a Video Organizer note-taking guide. Expanded resources in the latest revision bring even more updates to her program, all shaped by her focus on the student – a perspective that has made her course materials beloved by students and instructors alike. The Martin-Gay series offers market-leading content written by a preeminent author-educator, tightly integrated with the #1 choice in digital learning: MyLab Math. 

Personalize learning with MyLab Math 

By combining trusted author content with digital tools and a flexible platform, MyLab personalizes the learning experience and improves results for each student. Bringing Elayn Martin-Gay’s voice and approach into the MyLab course – though video resources, study skills support, and exercises refined with each edition – gives students the support to be successful in math.  

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.
