About this title

About the Author

Mathematics Programs Associates (MPA), a Long Island based family enterprise providing educational products and consulting services, exists today primarily due to the vision and determination of its founder, Dr. L. George Saad. During the early 1950s, Dr. Saad taught mathematics education at the University of Ain-shams in Cairo, Egypt. In 1954, with an innovative idea for self-induced learning, he matriculated as a doctoral candidate at the University of Birmingham in England. During the following three years, Dr. Saad devoted his research to the elementary and secondary students' understanding of basic mathematics and developed the methodology for a self-teaching mathematics program. In 1957, Dr. Saad received the Ph.D. in mathematics education. He then returned to Cairo and, sponsored by the Egyptian government, began the development of a mathematics curriculum for implementation throughout the country's elementary school system. In 1959, samples of Dr. Saad's materials were pilot tested within the Cairo school! s and, a few years later, his curriculum was being used throughout the country and in other Middle East nations. Due to his marked popularity in the Middle East, in 1969, Dr. Saad was invited to the United States as a visiting professor at the State University of New York, and in the same year, accepted a professorship at Long Island University. In 1970, with an inspiration to repeat his success, Dr. Saad immigrated his family to the United States and began working on the rudiments of a self-teaching mathematics workbook series. In 1974, he incorporated MPA in New York to design, develop, and distribute his work. Today, educators and students in the United States, and many other nations throughout the world, are benefiting from Dr. Saad's lifelong achievement Developmental Mathematics A Self-Teaching Program
