Abstract	This article presents an interview with Dr. Paul Nolting, a national expert in assessing individual math learning problems, developing effective student learning strategies, and assessing institutional variables that affect math success. Since his dissertation in 1986 on improving math success with study skills Dr. Nolting has consulted with over 100 college, university, and high school campuses on math success. His "Winning at Math" text won book of the year award from the National Association of Independent Publishers for best text of the association and is the only research-based math study skills text published in the U.S. He is employed at the State College of Florida in Bradenton, FL and has been an institutional test administrator, learning specialist, director of Title III Programs, Student Support Services director, and disability coordinator. He has also been a graduate school adjunct instructor at the University of South Florida and Florida Gulf Coast University. His life has been dedicated to improving the success of math students. In this interview, Dr. Nolting shares his views on why so many incoming students place into developmental math and why so many fail to complete developmental math. He offers strategies recommended for students who fail a developmental math course. (ERIC).
