Plovdiv was the biggest town and informal Bulgarian capital during our national Revival. The citizen of Plovdiv created new non-clerical schools at first. Plobdiv's great people disseminated physical and mathematical literature in our country before our Liberation. Nayden Gerov founded physics education in Bulgarian schools and wrote first our textbook of physics (1849). Historical sources show high level of mathematical interest in Plovdiv's intellectuals.
Nayden Gerov's pupils carried on knowlege propagation in our country. Ioakim Gruev translated the best French textbook in "Experimental Physics" by Ganot (1868) and "Short Experimental Physics Cours" by Schubert (1872). Bulgarian typography patriarch Christo Gruev Danov published prevailing part of school books in mathematics, physics and other sciences. He was elected as a honorary member of Bulgarian Physical and Mathematical Society (1905).
Creative trajectories of our eminent physical and mathematical knowleges sowers passed via Plovdiv after Liberation. Ivan Salabashev (first president of Bulgarian Physical and Mathematical Society from 1898), Atanas Tinterov (Sofia University professor on differential and integral calculus), Anton Schourek (Sofia University professor on Geometry) and s.o. were such Plovdiv scientists.
