Textbooks
• There are practically no textbooks in Russian
on sale. International Statistics as well as
Statistics itself was invented in the USSR by
Soviet statisticians and as far as I know it is
not delivered to students abroad with the
same contents
Textbooks
• My first textbook on International Statistics
was published in 1999 in co-operation with
Valentina Matveeva and Boris Bashkatov
Textbook published in 1999
Textbooks
• In 2000 it was republished without the part of
Mr. Bashkatov. There were other textbooks,
for example by Irina Eliseeva published in
Minsk in 1999 etc.
The book published in 2000
Textbooks
• Now I prepare a new edition of the textbook
for my Russian students. Of course it is
possible to make a textbook in English but
the number of possible buyers is too small
Textbooks, Lessons & Exam
• You should attend lessons, read
presentations and fulfill your personal tasks.
We shall meet four times on lessons, on the
fourth meeting you will get your marks for
this short course
Programme of work
• As far as I have understood, you wish to
work on computers, to be trained in
calculations by Excell. Therefore we shall
visit various sites of the international
statistical organizations, compile data and
calculate different indicators by the means of
Excell
Programme of work
• Your final mark will be based on the results
of these exercises. The students missing our
lessons, should execute the same cycle of
works independently, and during final lesson
will present results of their calculations
List & Ratings

the route: http://oknedis.narod.ru/ => For my special
