Abstract
The article examines the life and work of mathematician and educator A.P. Kiselev, whose textbooks were used in Russia for more than 50 years. Based on an analysis of Kiselev’s works, the key pedagogical features of his textbooks are identified, including rigorous presentation of material, scientific style, and a variety of practical exercises. Kiselev was among the first to introduce elements of mathematical analysis into secondary school mathematics curriculum. Kiselev’s textbooks defined the structure and content of school courses in arithmetic, algebra and geometry for many decades, and contributed to the systematization and unification of mathematical knowledge in secondary education. The author succeeded in combining fundamental mathematical knowledge with accessible presentation. His books embodied the principles of intra-subject (between arithmetic, algebra and geometry) and inter-subject (between teaching of mathematics, physics and drafting) continuity. A.P. Kiselev’s textbooks were in demand not only in the USSR, but also in other countries.
