Helps students innovatively "Do the Math"
Developmental Mathematics, 2nd Edition by Sullivan, Struve, and Mazzella utilizes the authors' hallmark engaging features to introduce students to the logic, precision and rigor of mathematics, while building a foundation for success in future math courses. Known for their unique examples that give students extra step-by-step support, the authors have maintained their successful learning aids, and in this revision focused on translating it to the MyLab (TM) Math course-resulting in a truly dynamic print and digital learning and teaching experience.
To this end, the authors have created pre-built assignments for the accompanying MyLab Math course, making it easy for instructors to assign homework that utilizes all of the author-created learning features and leads to the best possible student outcomes. Developmental Mathematics offers market-leading content written by author-educators, tightly integrated with MyLab Math-the #1 choice in digital learning. Bringing the authors' voice and approach into the MyLab course gives students the motivation, engagement, and skill sets they need to master algebra.
Also available with MyLab Math
MyLab (TM) is the teaching and learning platform that empowers instructors to reach every student. By combining trusted authors' content with digital tools and a flexible platform, MyLab personalizes the learning experience and improves results for each student.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Michael Sullivan, III
With training in mathematics, statistics, and economics, Michael Sullivan, III has a varied teaching background that includes 27 years of instruction in both high school and college-level mathematics. He is currently a full-time professor of mathematics at Joliet Junior College. Michael has numerous textbooks in publication, including an Introductory Statistics series and a Precalculus series, which he writes with his father, Michael Sullivan.
Michael believes that his experiences writing texts for college-level math and statistics courses give him a unique perspective as to where students are headed once they leave the developmental mathematics tract. This experience is reflected in the philosophy and presentation of his developmental text series. When not in the classroom or writing, Michael enjoys spending time with his three children, Michael, Kevin, and Marissa, and playing golf. Now that his two sons are getting older, he has the opportunity to do both at the same time!
Kathy Struve
Kathy Struve has been a classroom teacher for nearly 35 years, first at the high school level and, for the past 27 years, at Columbus State Community College. Kathy embraces classroom diversity: diversity of students' age, learning styles, and previous learning success. She is aware of the challenges of teaching mathematics at a large, urban community college, where students have varied mathematics backgrounds and may enter college with a high level of mathematics anxiety.
Kathy served as Lead Instructor of the Developmental Algebra sequence at Columbus State, where she developed curriculum, conducted workshops, and provided leadership to adjunct faculty in the mathematics department. She embraces the use of technology in instruction, and has taught web and hybrid classes in addition to traditional face-to-face and emporium-style classes. She is always looking for ways to more fully involve students in the learning process. In her spare time Kathy enjoys spending time with her two adult daughters, her four granddaughters, and biking, hiking, and traveling with her husband.
Janet Mazzarella
Born and raised in San Diego county, Janet Mazzarella spent her career teaching in culturally and economically diverse high schools before taking a position at Southwestern College 25 years ago. Janet has taught a wide range of mathematics courses, from arithmetic through calculus for math/science/engineering majors and has training in mathematics, education, engineering, and accounting.
Janet has worked to incorporate technology into the curriculum by participating in the development of Interactive Math and Math Pro. At Southwestern College, she helped develop the self-paced developmental mathematics program. In addition, Janet was the Dean of the School of Mathematics, Science, and Engineering, the Chair of the Mathematics Department, the faculty union president, and the faculty coordinator for Intermediate Algebra. In the past, free time consisted of racing motorcycles off-road in the Baja 500 and rock climbing, but recently she has given up the adrenaline rush of these activities for the thrill of traveling in Europe.
Jessica Bernards, Contributor
Jessica Bernards has been teaching mathematics since 2005. She began her career at the high school level and then transitioned to teaching at Portland Community College in 2010. She has taught a wide range of mathematics courses from Developmental Math up to Calculus and has created curriculum for all of these levels. Additionally, Jessica is a member of AMATYC's Project ACCCESS Cohort 9 where she developed a Math Study Skills Program which is now used across the nation. In 2017, she was the honored recipient of the Leila and Simon Peskoff AMATYC Award for her work with Project ACCCESS.
When not working, Jessica loves spending time with her husband and two boys in the Pacific Northwest. She enjoys running races, cooking, and hiking and is also an active member of her community; coordinating a neighborhood group that brings local moms together.
Wendy Fresh, Contributor
Wendy Fresh has been full-time instructor at Portland Community College since 1997 and has taught a wide range of classes from Developmental Math through Calculus, both on campus and online. Before teaching at PCC, Wendy began her teaching career in 1992, teaching high school at both rural and urban schools. Her love of creating curriculum to make the classroom come alive, has led her to working with technologies that can be incorporated into her many courses.
She earned her Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics Education from the University of Oregon and her Master's Degree in the Teaching of Mathematics from Portland State University. When not teaching, Wendy loves hanging out at home with her husband and two college age "kids". In addition, she enjoys running, gardening, watching soccer and reading.
