Sinopsis

For over 70 years, this single textbook trained 80 million Soviet students in mathematics. Generations of scientists, engineers, and Fields Medal winners learned arithmetic from these pages. Now, for the first time, the complete English translation is available.

Originally published in 1884 by Alexander Kiselev, this legendary textbook became the standard mathematics text across the Russian Empire and later the Soviet Union. It remained in continuous classroom use until 1955 — one of the longest runs of any textbook in history.

What makes Kiselev's Arithmetic different from every modern textbook:

Every rule comes with a proof. Where modern textbooks say "memorize this," Kiselev says "here is why it works — and you are 10 years old, so you can handle the proof." Students don't just learn that a number is divisible by 3 when its digits sum to a multiple of 3. They learn WHY.

Euclid's proof of infinite primes — in an elementary textbook. Most American students don't encounter this proof until college. Kiselev presents it to children, building mathematical reasoning from the ground up.

Limits of sequences — in an arithmetic book. Kiselev introduces the concept of a limit and uses it to prove that repeating decimals converge to specific fractions. This is mathematical rigor typically reserved for calculus courses.

191 pages. 214 sections. 7 parts covering: whole numbers, divisibility, fractions, decimals, ratios and proportions, limits, and word problems.

This translation preserves Kiselev's original pedagogical approach: concepts introduced gradually, problems carefully sequenced, abstraction built step by step, and reasoning emphasized over memorization.

Ideal for: homeschool families seeking a rigorous arithmetic curriculum, parents supplementing their children's math education, math teachers looking for a proof-based approach, adults who want to rebuild their mathematical foundations, and anyone interested in the tradition that produced some of the greatest mathematicians of the 20th century.

Translated by Valery Manokhin, PhD — mathematician, data scientist, and advocate for rigorous mathematical education.

Derecho al desistimiento

Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona f�sica que act�e con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesi�n.

Informaci�n sobre el derecho de desistimiento

Derecho legal de desistimiento

Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 d�as sin dar ning�n motivo.

El periodo de desistimiento vencer� a los 14 d�as desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesi�n f�sica del �ltimo bien o del �ltimo lote o pieza.

Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electr�nica y env�e una declaraci�n clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a trav�s de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electr�nico).

Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que env�e su comunicaci�n relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.

Efectos del desistimiento

Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de env�o (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de env�o que no sea el tipo de env�o est�ndar m�s econ�mico que ofrecemos).

Podemos hacer una deducci�n del reembolso por la p�rdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la p�rdida es el resultado de una manipulaci�n innecesaria por su parte.

Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a m�s tardar, 14 d�as despu�s de que se nos informe de su decisi�n de rescindir este contrato.

Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utiliz� para la transacci�n inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrir� en ning�n cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.

Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.

Deber� devolver los bienes o entregarlos a CitiRetail, Stevenage, United Kingdom, sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo m�ximo de 14 d�as a partir del d�a en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercanc�a antes de que venza el periodo de 14 d�as. Tendr� que asumir los gastos directos de devoluci�n de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminuci�n del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulaci�n distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las caracter�sticas y el funcionamiento de los bienes.

Excepciones al derecho de desistimiento

El derecho de desistimiento no se aplica a lo siguiente:

La entrega de peri�dicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepci�n de los contratos de suscripci�n; y
El suministro de contenido digital que no se proporcione en un soporte tangible (por ejemplo, en un CD o DVD) si, al hacer el pedido, acept� que pod�amos empezar a entregarlo y que no podr�a desistir una vez iniciada la entrega.
