Reference excerpt

Milko Borissov Ivanov (18 February 1921 – 5 October 1998) was a Bulgarian physicist, member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS), university professor, founder of the Institute of Solid State Physics of the BAS and its director (1973–1991).

Biography Milko Borissov was born in Sofia 18 February 1921. He studied physics at the Sofia University from 1939 to 1943. After the World War II, he was assistant (1945–1948), associate professor and full professor. He lectured on courses in General Physics, Introduction to Solid State Physics and the Physical foundation of acoustic electronics and acoustic optics and published university textbooks on them. He could use both Germany and Russia. He was dean of the Physics and Mathematics Faculty and Sofia University deputy rector. He was deputy director of the BAS Institute of Physics and director of the Institute of Solid-State Physics and United Centre of Physics (1973–1988). He became a member of BAS. He died in Sofia 5 November 1998.

Contributions Milko Borissov worked in the area of solid state physics. He initiated investigations in the area of acoustoelectronics in Bulgaria for the first time. He studied plasma physics and paramagnetic resonance. He organised and headed a history of physics group at the Institute of Solid-State physics and published two books about physics in Bulgarian schools. He had 15 patents and supervised 10 PhD students.

Recognition A street is named Milko Borissov in Sofia district "Vitosha" (Map). A session dedicated to Milko Borissov memoriam was organised in 2003. Proceedings was published after that in 2006. The next memorial session marked the 90 years anniversary of Milko Borissov on 18 February 2011.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Milko Borissov

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Milko Borissov claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Milko Borissov before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Milko Borissov ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Milko Borissov

In research: Milko Borissov appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Milko Borissov in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Milko Borissov is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1921 births, 1998 deaths, Bulgarian physicists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Milko Borissov outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
