RECORD OF PUBLICATIONS

of Boyan Dimitrov, Ph.D., Dr. of Math. Sci.

BOOKS AND MONOGRAPHS

14-18. Five textbooks for High-school students (with coauthors), concerning introduction in probability theory and combinatorics:

- Applied Mathematics for Post-High-school students, and pre-college students (issued in 1986 and 1988, with coauthor Gero Gerov);

- Algebra for High-school students Grade 10 (issued in 1990 and 1993, with coauthors Z. Zaprianov, N. Georgieva, and V. Vakarelova);

- Mathematics for post-high school students, (issued in 1988, with coauthors G. Stanilov, A. Langov and R. Rusev).

- Biostatistics Parts 1 and 2,2019 – 2020, (issued in University of Forestry, Sofia, Bulgaria, with coauthor V. Dragieva)

All these textbooks were issued by the Nauka i Izkustvo Editorial Corporation authorized by the state of Bulgaria to print textbooks for High- school in Bulgaria at that time.
