The three of us each teach differently, as many of our current users The Miller/O’Neill/Hyde series is designed for successful use in a variety of course formats, both traditional and modern—classroom lecture settings, flipped classrooms, hybrid classes, and online-only classes Ease of Instructor Preparation We’ve all had to fill in for a colleague, pick up a last-minute section, or find ourselves running across campus to yet a different course The Miller/O’Neill/Hyde series is carefully designed to support instructors teaching in a variety of different settings and circumstances Experienced, senior faculty members can draw from a massive library of static and algorithmic content found in ALEKS and Connect Hosted by ALEKS to meticulously build assignments and assessments sharply tailored to individual student needs Newer instructors and part-time adjunct instructors, on the other hand, will find support through a wide range of digital resources and prebuilt assignments ready to go on Day One With these tools, instructors with limited time to prepare for class can still facilitate successful student outcomes Many instructors want to incorporate discovery-based learning and groupwork into their courses but don’t have time to write or find quality materials We have ready-made Group Activities that are available online Furthermore, each section of the text has numerous discovery-based activities that we have tested in our own classrooms These are found in the Student Resource Manual along with other targeted worksheets for additional practice and materials for a student portfolio Student Success—Now and in the Future Too often our math placement tests fail our students, which can lead to frustration, anxiety, and often withdrawal from their education journey We encourage you to learn more about ALEKS Placement, Preparation, and Learning (ALEKS PPL), which uses adaptive learning technology to place students appropriately No matter the skills they come in with, the Miller/O’Neill/Hyde series provides resources and support that uniquely position them for success in that course and for their next course Whether they need a brush-up on their basic skills, ADA supportive materials, or advanced topics to help them cross the bridge to the next level, we’ve created a support system for them We hope you are as excited as we are about the series and the supporting resources and services that accompany it Please reach out to any of us with any questions or comments you have about our texts Julie Miller Molly O’Neill Nancy Hyde julie.miller.math@gmail.com molly.s.oneill@gmail.com nhyde@montanasky.com About the Authors Julie Miller is from Daytona State College, where she taught developmental and upper-level mathematics courses for 20 years Prior to her work at Daytona State College, she worked as a software engineer for General Electric in the area of flight and radar simulation Julie earned a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics from Union College in Schenectady, New York, and a Master of Science in Mathematics from the University of Photo courtesy of Molly O’Neill Florida In addition to this textbook, she has authored textbooks for college algebra, trigonometry, and precalculus, as well as several short works of fiction and nonfiction for young readers “My father is a medical researcher, and I got hooked on math and science when I was young and would visit his laboratory I can remember using graph paper to plot data points for his experiments and doing simple calculations He would then tell me what the peaks and features in the graph meant in the context of his experiment I think that applications and hands-on experience made math come alive for me, and I’d like to see math come alive for my students.” —Julie Miller Molly O’Neill is also from Daytona State College, where she taught for 22 years in the School of Mathematics She has taught a variety of courses from developmental mathematics to calculus Before she came to Florida, Molly taught as an adjunct instructor at the University of Michigan–Dearborn, Eastern Michigan University, Wayne State University, and Oakland Community College Molly earned a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and a Master of Arts and Teaching from Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan Besides this textbook, she has authored several course supplements for college algebra, trigonometry, and precalculus and has reviewed texts for developmental mathematics “I differ from many of my colleagues in that math was not always easy for me But in seventh grade I had a teacher who taught me that if I follow the rules of mathematics, even I could solve math problems Once I understood this, I enjoyed math to the point of choosing it for my career I now have the greatest job because I get to math every day and I have the opportunity to influence my students just as I was influenced Authoring these texts has given me another avenue to reach even more students.” —Molly O’Neill Nancy Hyde served as a full-time faculty member of the Mathematics Department at Broward College for 24 years During this time she taught the full spectrum of courses from developmental math through differential equations She received a Bachelor of Science in Math Education from Florida State University and a Master’s degree in Math Education from Florida Atlantic University She has conducted workshops and seminars for both students and teachers on the use of technology in the classroom In addition to this textbook, she has authored a graphing calculator supplement for College Algebra “I grew up in Brevard County, Florida, where my father worked at Cape Canaveral I was always excited by mathematics and physics in relation to the space program As I studied higher levels of mathematics I became more intrigued by its abstract nature and infinite possibilities It is enjoyable and rewarding to convey this perspective to students while helping them to understand mathematics.” —Nancy Hyde Dedication To Our Students Julie Miller iv Molly O’Neill Nancy Hyde The Miller/O’Neill/Hyde Developmental Math Series Julie Miller, Molly O’Neill, and Nancy Hyde originally wrote their developmental math series because students were entering their College Algebra course underprepared The students were not mathematically mature enough to understand the concepts of math, nor were they fully engaged with the material The authors began their developmental mathematics offerings with Intermediate Algebra to help bridge that gap This in turn evolved into several series of textbooks from Prealgebra through Precalculus to help students at all levels before Calculus What sets all of the Miller/O’Neill/Hyde series apart is that they address course content through an author-created digital package that maintains a consistent voice and notation throughout the program This consistency—in videos, PowerPoints, Lecture Notes, Integrated Video and Study Guides, and Group Activities—coupled with the power of ALEKS and Connect Hosted by ALEKS, ensures that students master the skills necessary to be successful in Developmental Math through Precalculus and prepares them for the Calculus sequence Developmental Math Series The Developmental Math series is traditional in approach, delivering a purposeful balance of skills and conceptual development It places a strong emphasis on conceptual learning to prepare students for success in subsequent courses Basic College Mathematics, Third Edition Prealgebra, Third Edition
