About the Translator
Kiselev's books deserved a translation that honors their precision, clarity, and rigor. This is what we created.
Valery Manokhin, PhD
Valery Manokhin is an independent machine learning researcher, author, and translator. His work connects modern prediction theory with the mathematical tradition behind Kiselev: clarity, proof, and disciplined reasoning.
Credentials
- • PhD — Machine Learning, Royal Holloway, University of London
- • MBA — Finance, Warwick University
- • MSc — Machine Learning, UCL
- • CQF — Certificate in Quantitative Finance
His research is about making predictions reliable: not just more accurate, but honest about uncertainty. At valeriy.ai, he writes about prediction, machine learning, and the mathematical foundations behind serious technical work.
Translation Principles
Faithful
Preserve the structure, logic, and precision of the original Russian. No abbreviations, no simplifications, no "improvements".
Accessible
Translate into modern, clear English without sacrificing rigor. The goal is for modern Western readers to follow proofs.
Verified
Every problem, every proof, every example is verified against the original Russian edition. Zero errors introduced.
Complete
Includes every section, every exercise, every note. No material omitted or modified.
Publications
Applied Conformal Prediction
A comprehensive reference on non-parametric prediction methods and uncertainty validation.

Philosophy
Western mathematics education has prioritized speed and test prep over deep understanding. Students learn to pass tests, not to think like mathematicians.
Kiselev's books offer an antidote. Written in an era before standardized testing culture, they focused entirely on conceptual understanding. Every rule is proven. Every operation is justified. Students don't memorize formulas — they derive them.
The world needs more mathematical thinkers, not test-takers. These books can help create that.
