Instructor Information
Quick Actions (Only for Validated Instructor Accounts):
Julie Miller and Donna Gerken wrote their developmental math series because students were coming into their courses underprepared. They weren’t mathematically mature enough to understand the concepts of math nor were they fully engaged with the material. This series strives to help bridge that gap for students, with the text strengthened by its offering in ALEKS, now featuring Custom Question Authoring, Video Assignments, interactive tools, and more!
ALEKS is a course assistant that helps math instructors forge Constructive Learning Paths for their students – blending personalized modules with instructor-driven assignments to ensure every student always has another block to build on their knowledge base.

About the Author
Julie Miller
Julie Miller is from Daytona State College, where she has 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 Florida. In addition to this textbook, she has authored several course supplements 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.
