More About the Author
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.
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 pioneered the Chapter Test Prep Video 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 videos useful for review. Her textbooks and acclaimed video program support Elayn's passion of helping every student to succeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book for beginning algebra,
By
This review is from: Algebra A Combined Approach (Hardcover) (3rd Edition) (Hardcover)
The community college at which I tutor uses this textbook for its beginning and intermediate algebra courses, therefore, I am very familiar with this book's content. I feel it's an excellent book because it's very well laid out and gives sufficient step-by-step examples of individual concepts. There are also some good examples of the dreaded word problems, nicely explained so they (hopefully) become less feared. There is no 'heavy duty' math content -- everything is written clearly for the lay person.The book starts with a review of the most basic math rules (that everyone ought to already know) and gets progressively more in-depth. First, it walks you through linear equations, followed by quadratics, then exponential and log functions and finally circles and ellipses. There are appendices at the end of this massive book that re-capitulates the most important concepts of algebra. If you want to learn algebra on your own and start off from the beginning of this book and work your way methodically through the chapters, you should have no problem understanding basic algebra by the time you are two-thirds the way into the book. Highly recommended!

Typical Text Book,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Algebra: A Combined Approach (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
What can I say? This book is neither good, nor bad. It is just your typical textbook, written by the typical math teacher. It could do with a lot more explanations, but I guess that's what going to class is all about.
5.0 out of 5 stars
