Founder of mathematical culture of our people

© P.K.Hobzey, 1991

     «Founder of mathematical culture of ours people» - so the academician Michael Kravchuk has termed Volodymyra Levyc'kogo. Also had on this right, as V.Levyc'kyj raised in Galychyni skysphere of mathematical culture on the Ukrainian ground. He first has written only professional paper after mathematician on the Ukrainian language, was the invariable editor of the first Ukrainian scientific magazine on natural sciences, first has prepared and has published materials to the Ukrainian nomenclature after mathematician, physics, chemistries, first has rallied around of itself of mathematicians-ukrainians for scientific operation... And in many businesses and undertakings, bound with development and derivation of the Ukrainian people, were accepted immediate involvement by the professor V.Levyc'kyj...

     Родился Volodymyr Levyc'kyj in Ternopoli per the last day of 1872y. in aged priestly to monogynopaedium. The great-grandfather - father Georgyj, close relative сardinal Michael Levyc'kyj (*M. Levyc'kyj (1774-1858 yy.)-Galichina's Ukrainian church and public figure, after restoring Galich metropolitan - Lvov metropolitan (1816-185Г yy.).) , has arrived to Galichina in the second half XVIII an item from Ukraine. The grandfather of V.Levyc'kyj - Stefan also was the priest, and already father - Yosyf Levyc'kyj - has completed legal faculty of the Lvov university, worked Austrian lawyer, became gofrat at the highest tribunal in Vienna. In a reject with Serafyma Ilevych for was four sons: the Roman, Marjan, Volodymyr and Julian. All of them have completed the Lvov university. The Roman was the lawyer, Marjan has died in a young blepharon, Julian became the historian, in intermilitary time become director in the Ukrainian grammar school of Ternopil'.

     When Volodymyr five years have passed, the mother has died. Then the monogynopaedium Levyc'kies moves in Zolochev. There in and a half of years Volodymyr is routed to the first class of four-years(four-summer) national school so-called «shtuby». In 1882y. he enters to Zolochiv grammar school, in which one ends four classes. In Zolochiv to an on - neighbourhood with Levyckies the known Ukrainian patriots lived the father Ezers'kyj and adviser Rozhankovs'kyj with the wife Shuhevychevna -. They at home talked on the Ukrainian language, had the Ukrainian magazines and books. Dialogue with these people, and also often visitation of the Ukrainian theatre in Zolochiv, on words V.Levyc'kyj, «develop in me and in my brothers irresponsible still Ukrainian idea» (*CDIA USSR in L'viv, f. 771, op. 1, spr. 1.) .

     Next he prolongs training in the Ternopol grammar school, what recalls in the memoirs: «Mathematikians in Ternopil' learned me the major teachers, the teachers, have advanced which one in me hunting to «tsar-woman of all sciences». There was a director other. Dnestrans'kyj, and on his scrap to L'viv prof. Pleshkevych. Therefore anything strange, that me, beaten between delight to philology and mathematician, have selected already in VI class to mathematician and became to her valid forever» (** There are.) .

     In summer 1889. Levyc'kies move to L'viv, Volodymyr is written to a Polish grammar school of Franc Yosyf, which one is ended with distinction in 1890 by , and enters the Lvov university. About those times he writes: «All have advised against me to be written to philosophical faculty, and in particular on mathematician (as then for the candidates were very sad horoscopes to receive the teacher's position), - however in a grammar school became my dream dedicate to mathematical studios, and this dream was translated with me in operation with complete consciousness» (* CDIA USSR in L'viv, f. 771, op. 1, spr. 1.) .

     In university V.Levyc'kyj listens to the lectures U.Puzyny, O.Fabiana, B.Radzyshevs'kogo after mathematician and physics. Prof. U.Puzyna, the former schoolboy ingenious K.T.V.Veershtrassa, worked with the students and after the lectures, tendering them the new literature and miscellaneous subjects for scientific operation. V.Levyc'kyj wrote in the memoirs: «To him I give thanks to that knowledge of mathematics, which one I have till now: due to him I have learnt all modern theories and methods, due to him I was typed delights to operation and hunting to independent experences» (** There.) . After the termination of university V.Levyc'kyj listens course of a group theory of Lie and probability theory in young, but already known then senior lecturer of polyengineering K.Zhoravs'kogo, in due course professors Krakow university

     In this time he much works, sits up above mathematics far for midnight. For four grade levels V.Levyc'kyj had time to re-read main scientific operations of A.Puankare, history of mathematics Y.Kantora in 3 volumes. Then he writes the first original operation «О Symmetric expressions costs of functions mod m», which one has published on the Polish language in the collection «Prace matematyczno-fizyczno», t. VI (in translation by P.Ogonovs'kyj has quitted in «Notes of NTSh», t. IV, 1894 y).. It was first in a history the professional paper after the mathematician which has been printed out on the Ukrainian language. Then V.Levyc'kyj shares in congress of the Polish naturalists and mathematicians in L'viv, where acquaints with produced mathematician S.Dikstayn from Warsaw, with which one later, as with the editor and publisher, him joined of lengthy year frendship

      11 May, 1893 there were common collections NTSh, on which one the mathematical - natural - medical section was derivated, the director by which one selects Ivan Верхратский. 54 men, among them of three mathematicians went into into a composition of a section: Peter Огоновский, Volodymyr Levyc'kyj and Клим Глибовицкий.

     Уже On the fifth meeting of a section to the young graduate of university В.Левицкому was entrusted to conclude the Ukrainian physical and mathematical nomenclature. After one half-year he has time to prepare materials on a nomenclature with механики.

     V.Levyc'kyj Did not stand in the side and from public life, from the first grade level at university he enters to the Academic brotherhood, uniform by then companies of the Ukrainian students. Then internal strife between radicals and народовцами here was sharpened. V.Levyc'kyj belonged to to the latter. In 1891 народовцы ground new student's company «Ватра», but already in 1896 both companies are combined in «Академическую общину» for strife for the Ukrainian language of teaching and separate Ukrainian university. Besides, V.Levyc'kyj helps В.Нагирному and In лавриiнскому to ground in 1894 the Ukrainian sporting company «Сокол» also there is his(its) first писарем.

     После A termination of university in September 1894 . V.Levyc'kyj gains a place of the helper of the teacher of mathematics in the academic Ukrainian grammar school in L'viv. Then the whole mia maid of the Ukrainian figures here worked: And. Вахнянин and Ю. Романчук - ambassadors to the Viennese parliament; seconds. Громницкий, And. Верхратский, which one in due course will be selected the honorary members NTSh; П. and And. Огоновские (перв - chairman «Просвiти); about. Торонський - the chairman of the Ukrainian pedagogical company etc. Behind any of them costs(stands) considerable scientific and pedagogical задел.

     В May 1895 . V.Levyc'kyj gains complete teacher's proficiency after mathematician and physics for high schools with the Ukrainian and Polish languages of teaching. In October of the same year he goes per annum in army, and upon termination of the service gains a rank of the officer and prolongs teaching activity already in the Ternopol grammar school. In June 1896 . In. Levyc'kyj becomes of an appropriate reality the teacher, that was a rather high stage(step) in hierarchy of the positions Австро-Hungarian империи.

     Проф. y.Грушевский tenders him to move in L'viv for operation in NTSh, and V.Levyc'kyj prolongs to edify in a grammar school. Now he reads after much to miscellaneous sites of knowledge, writes and prints(publishs) scientific papers by the Ukrainian, Polish and german languages. About the pedagogical operation he writes так:

     «Я Cared about alive and clear presentation, of the aesthetic hagiographa on the table, about kind transparent figures, and that major - did not admit never to the greatest enemy at school - скуки» (* CDIA USSR in L'viv, f. 771, op. 1, spr. 1.) .

     Здесь, in Тернополе, 1899 . V.Levyc'kyj marries the sister - in-law Софьей Левицкою.

     На Х meeting of a mathematical - natural - medical section, that was held in February, 1897., М.Грушевский brings in sentence to produce separate printed «Сборник», the editors which one become: И.Верхратский and V.Levyc'kyj. 25-year's V.Levyc'kyj edits papers after mathematician, physics and химии.

     В Foreword to the first volume «Сборника» ( 1897 ) И.Верхратский accessed to землякам: «Наш The language only then can get(procure) to itself соответсвенного and worthy position, if will be developped so, that could become near to the derivated languages of the second european peoples, яко evidential средник of connected and particular expression of thoughts on all fields human разумства. Should nevertheless our language work out to itself соответсвенную a nomenclature in miscellaneous ветках of human knowledge, should соответсвенно use all oof native словесов, and at the same time be routed to necessary прецизии, which one is met in other languages more happily developed. Without those abutments and to think it is not allowed about more broad advancement of science in native беседе».

     В VII volume «Записок» NTSh ( 1895 the ) V.Levyc'kyj after paper «Эллиптические Function модулю» prints(publishs) «Прибавления To a nomenclature математической», which one were kept by(with) 69 terms, introduced by the way of украинско-german dictionary. It was the first publication Ukrainian mathematical терминов.

     Результатом Perennial operation В.Levyc'kogo there was a publication in VIII volume «Сборника» ( 1902 ) materials on a mathematical nomenclature. They consist of two parts (partial and higher mathematics) and covered about two thousand terms. As well as the writer envisioned, the dictionary was not complete. Happened and недоделы: 'conditionally', 'колибаючийся', 'bracket', ' number мниме ', 'ray', ' number совершенне ', and also ' лiнiя ланцова ', 'двигар' ('носій'), 'віддалене', ' вiдклонен є '. That is the influence москвофиiльских of traditions, and полонизмов is felt. A number of the terms derivated by translation from the Greek and Latin languages, have not got accustomed. Some of them: ' прогресія — поступ ', ' a chord — тятива ', ' centre — осередок ', ' a leg — прямка ', ' гіпотенуза — протипрямка '. At the conclusion of the terminological dictionary V.Levyc'kyj used «Малоруским-немецким словарем» Евгения Желеховского and Софрона Недильского (L'viv, 1884-1886 гг.). Therefrom ы the terms have appeared: ' тягла — неперервна ', ' виложник — визначник ', ' is reckless збіжний — absolutely збіжний ', ' промір — діаметр ' and другие

     Материалы Mathematical nomenclature В.Levyc'kogo become the basis for creation of the following terminological dictionaries and have facilitated of writing of the new tutorials and professional papers. Besides he has emited in four parts «Материалы To physical терминологии» and «Набросок Chemical терминологии». Though А.Ю.Крымский wrote, that «не One feature галицого of a literary slang have acquired to itself and diverse writers from Ukraine by RUSSIAN, predominantly scientific nomenclature (and her(it) in Галиции fulfilled as if with purposely comical жаргонностью)» (* Crimean And. Ю. The Ukrainian language, whence she has undertaken and as explicated // of Product: In 5 т. To: Scientific. Thought, 1973. Т. 3.) , nevertheless main tank of the mathematical terms built in NTSh, was included in all словари.

     В Beginning 1900 . V.Levyc'kyj has compounded with distinction two doctoral examinations after mathematician and philosophy and at once has given the requests up to цисаря about assignment промоции «sub auspicius Imperators». The right on it had only the one who has compounded all trials from the first class of a grammar school with distinction, the relatives had which one of a merit before the state and who has left military service. In case of assignment промоции the candidate gained from цисаря gift - predominantly diamond ring, grant, and candidate had to the provided scientific opencast. Промоция should be held in the autumn 1901 . And against В.Levyc'kogo as украинца other candidature by nothing of the remarkable chemist Негруша was pushed. Advantage, certainly, have returned to the latter. V.Levyc'kyj wrote: «Сие There was a failure, which one to a great extent has reduced chances by mine future(next) scientific карьеры» (* CDIA USSR in L'viv, f. 771, op. 1, spr. 1.) .

     В 1899 the is organized национально-democratic party (М.Грушевский, V.Levyc'kyj, В.Охримович, Д.Савчак, И.Франко). One of items of practical policy of a fresh consignment was creation of the Ukrainian university in L'viv. Due to diligence О.Барвинского for needs(requirements) of this university the State grant and holiday in centres of science was intended to several украинцам. Among them and В.Левицкому, which one studied to mathematician in Goettingen in 1901 . Then in the Goettingen institute of mathematics worked Феликс Кляйн and Давыд Hilbert, in due course selected foreign terms NTSh. V.Levyc'kyj listens course of the lectures Ф.Кляйна on a projective geometry and Д.Гильберта on an integral calculus. Except for visitation of the lectures, V.Levyc'kyj shared in a seminar Ф.Кляйна and independently worked in institute, a key from which one to him have given at once after arrival. Проучился he in Goettingen only one semester, despite of his(its) quiet and creative atmosphere, as was there with the wife, which one missed without the Ukrainian company. V.Levyc'kyj wrote: «Кто Knew then in Goettingen something about украинцах? One thought, that we кроати, considered(counted) other us мадьярами, and only to one professor Кляйнову there was no another's name by ours нации» (** There.) . Therefore, when the comrade В.Levyc'kogo  др. И.Копач has invited to go at studio in Berlin, he under influence the wife and with desire to see something new согласился.

     В Berlin V.Levyc'kyj was during a years(summer) semester 1901 , autumn and winter 1902 and in third times a years(summer) semester 1903 . In the beginning XX an item the centre of mathematical science has moved to Goettingen, and in Berlin the majority of the professors a core by aged ideas «звездных» times. At the Berlin university he listened to the lectures y.Шварца, Ф.Фробениуса, И.Фукса, Е.Ландау. V.Levyc'kyj wrote: «В Berlin from the teachers of mathematics, except for one Ландау, with which one I have come in short-range contact, I have not found actually anything. However operation in the university library and величавой надворной to the library, where there was a literature of all world, has given me fair compensation for маловартостные of presentation former Berlin mathematical мастеров» (* CDIA USSR in L'viv, f. 771, op. 1, cottage cheese. 1.) . Thanking И.Копачу visited the lectures of the famous historian of an ancient world Э.Мейєра and philosopher Ф.Паульсена.

     К That time V.Levyc'kyj there are by the writer from above 30 scientific papers, which one in main fell into the theories of analytical functions. In particular(personally), the cycle it(him) most of considerable operations is dedicated to the theory of elliptic functions. So on a bottom(basis) of the functionly algebraic approach it(he) studied the theory of analytical invariants of the differential equations and their group properties. These operations become the powerful contribution to a general theory of integration in quadratures, which one actively explicated in Europe the French and german school in connection with a problem of Riemann. Let's mark, that the problem of Riemann was successfully solvable only in 1980 group of Japanese mathematicians under a manual проф. Мико Сато. This fact brightly testifies about deep mathematical intuition В.Levyc'kogo, his(its) creative gift to feel the most actual mathematical problems and safely by him(it) следовать.

     После Overseas training V.Levyc'kyj is returned in L'viv and in September 1903 the holds office the teacher of 5-th state grammar school, where works up to first world(global) войны.

     В L'viv V.Levyc'kyj at once switches on in public life. It(him) elect by the secretary of the Ukrainian pedagogical company (founded in 1888 г).. These functions he fulfilled continuous время.

     Дело With creation of the Ukrainian university in L'viv was tightened. Somehow to cancel absence of the Ukrainian higher educational putting, in main diligence проф. О.Колессы in 1907 the Company of scientific presentations by him(it) was built. Peter of a Tomb. Among 13 основателей of Company near to the professors of universities О.Колессою, С.Днестрянским, С.Смаль-Стоцким, И.Пулюєм is discovered also surname В.Levyc'kogo.

     В 1909 . In. Levyc'kyj becomes a term of foreign mathematical companies «Circolo matematico di Palermo» and «Deutsche Matematiker - Vereinung».

     В 1903-1914 рр. the scientific activity В.Levyc'kogo explicates in main in a direction популяризации of knowledge and педагогически-дидактическому. He prints(publishs) many papers in «Учителях», «Нашей школе», «Экономисте», Shifts scientific operations, in main with german языка.

     В This period the ratioes between М.Грушевским and В.Levyc'kyj are aggravated. Проф. y.Грушевский was an enemy провинционализма and exposed a critic В.Levyc'kogo for the fact that he began to head out from the present science, science of an european level. He also had the claims to В.Левицкому and И.Верхратскому as to the editors «Сборника» concerning a scientific level of a magazine. Though it is necessary to indicate, that the operation of a mathematical - natural - medical section has quickened. V.Levyc'kyj attracts in operation in a section of the new employees, in particular(personally) Nickolai Чайковского, which one in due course wrote about В.Levyc'kogo:

     «Он Had gift выискивать of the young adherents of science and роспределял between them of operation, giving them at once abstracts from the books, and further encouraging to independent scientific operation. In this respect all of us should consider(count) ourselves as the spiritual schoolboys его» (* «Сборник». 1927. Т. 26.) .

     В предвоенный the period V.Levyc'kyj fruitfully works on by creation of the Ukrainian tutorials. In 1906 the quits first, and in 1908 the second part «Алгебры For higher кляс of schools средних». And though on the writers of these books are П.Огоновский and V.Levyc'kyj, actually almost all operation V.Levyc'kyj has made itself. In a review on the tutorial the director of a grammar school С.Матвияс писал:

     «Полнится All and everywhere harmony between the theory, which one репрезентует dr. V.Levyc'kyj, and practice, which one, undoubtedly, was shielded By(with) Peter Огоновский. Cardiac thanks належится, undoubtedly, to writers so from the schoolboys, as well as from the teachers, as well as from Russian гражданства» (** There. 1908. Т. 12.) . In an extremely short time, for 7 months, V.Levyc'kyj writes the solid tutorial (672 seconds) «Физика For higher кляс», That has seen a world in 1912 . Continuous time it there was one of the best tutorials on physics. In 1924 it(him) переиздали.

     В 1914 . V.Levyc'kyj goes to work in Vienna in Ministry of education. But the war began, and it(him) as officer invoke for army. Almost at once in Carpathians he hits to Russian film, which one left in steppes of the Penza province. In 1918 he is returned in L'viv and works the supervisor of high schools. In 1920/1921 educational year teaches at the Ukrainian secret university. Reads to higher mathematician (4 lecture clocks and hour practical per one week) and entrance to a cosmography (hour for one week). In June 1921 it(him) elect продеканом of philosophical department. In 1923 against all урядовцов-украинцев, which one taught at secret university, the authority has commanded to begin a discipline corollary. Therefore already in 1923 . In. Левицький enforced to stop operation in университете

     28 March 1921 р . After an almost eight-years(eight-summer) interruption there are first collections of terms of science Foundation by him(it). Т. Шевченко. В.Levyc'kogo elect in a manual NTSh, besides he heads a mathematical - natural - medical section and terminological commission, enters in publishing, printed and физиографическую комиссии

     Еще August 21 1918 the in L'viv from sentence of the Kiev Terminological commission at a mathematical - natural - medical section NTSh is organized Terminological commission led by В.Levyc'kyj. Through occupation L'viv by the Poles in 1919 the cooperation of these two commissions has stopped and поновилася only in 1926 . Behind double edition (Kiev and Lvov) send II and III of a part «Математического словаря» and III a part «Зоологической номенклатуры».

     В 1925 the is established the communications NTSh with ВУАН. The terms NTSh elect the Kiev mathematics Д.Граве, М.Кравчук, M.Krylov, М.Куренський. In particular major приязнь and the friendship was between Volodymyr Levyc'kyj and Michael Kravchuk, which one have made for cooperation украинцев from both beaches Збруча so much. In the letter from 30.10. 1927 . M. Кравчук wrote В.Левицкому: «Вы (and in this business first) raise relevant and interesting problems: about learning of a history of mathematical thought on Ukraine. It would be desirable, that you have made a beginning, as have a light arm(hand). [...] your tender sentence - to contain my name near yours above a note about a Stirling formula I consider(count) for myself for a great honor and I accept(receive) with a profound gratitude. There will be a rad, if it is necessary still somewhere to be yours сотрудником» (* CDIA USSR in L'viv, f. 771, op. 1, spr. 29.) .

      1927 . V.Levyc'kyj under the guideline of the academician M.Krylovа was selected a term «Societe mathematigue de France». If in Kiev 1929 were caught to organize Mathematical company, Michael Kravchuk has put forward Volodymyr Levyc'kyj on a rank of the honorary member of company, and it(him) was solidly selected together with D.Grave, М.Krylov, Y.Pfeyferom. Then he has received the resolution of general meeting of the Kiev mathematical company, the seventh item which one sounded so: «Общество Should care of development Марксиской of the methodology in mathematician, research philosophical problems on the basis of dialectic materialism, explicate for the terms материалистическое мировоззрение». V.Levyc'kyj has appeared against such vulgar-sociological approach to mathematician. In the answer he wrote to the secretary of company: «Решительное I shall allow myself to appear against 7-th resolution, though I consider(count) myself as mathematician неболее second кляси, but nevertheless таки as your honorary member and as that of the beginnings before years to lay a fundamentals of the Ukrainian mathematical science, should indicate, that follows. Mathematicians, as science, when a subject of its(her) experiences - even in примiнении are the ideal concepts, and which one to aim to the reckless truth, costs(stands) from the most @ nature above than any political parties and мировозрений and has no, can not have any божков, especially such, that with her(it) had no anything common.
     Ее the lone God is a truth the non-party, безполитическая. And consequently in her the people everyones возрений are assorted. [...] of Time will leave mathematicians to a role of the political, party implement, will cease to be mathematics, and becomes only ordinary «щотницею» (* CDIA USSR in L'viv, f. 771, op. 1, spr. 41.) .

     Осенью 1929 . M. Kravchuk has nominated В.Levyc'kogo to VUAN, but this candidature has not passed. In this causing V.Levyc'kyj wrote to the academician Stepan Rudnyc'kyj: «L'viv, 20. 12. 1929 . Dear a Pan to the Comrade! Whether remember єще, as laid a fundamentals under a constitution of a mathematical - natural - medical section NTSh and as struggled in a name of freedom of the suppositions and thought against the despotic mode in company, which one netimaratio was «по сему быть»? Remember? And nowadays?
     Еще One to you I remember. In one remarkable vernal evening we were returned from far tours роверами and steel to rest in Солонце, 13 kms from L'viv, in a deep abyss. The sun already caught - on a palate заяснел of vesper purpuras, and in the whole nature воцарилася deep silence... And then призадумались both of us, and you have said: «Божье, with what thee are majestic! And however that from thee the people сделали!» And сие memory надвигает to me паралелю between you, then enthusiast, and present scientist of a major standard(measure), that the happiness of a world sees there, where there is no freedom of thought and liberty of conscience, there, where anachronism returns a view, which one lambda, omega (in all there is only substance, which one подданая under a scalpel of deep experiences deliquesces each time greater in a nem and uncloses to us new paths of spiritual world outlook!
    И One more. Whether say to me, please, 1) can by alone proficiency in terms of scientific entity there should be as in Europe only merit in science, or accessory party? Whether 2) the best - scientific entity in time can, if from a pedestal of science descends to the speaker of party solutions, does not spend through it of the scientific prestige and not нисходит to a role political веча? Whether 3) can really only in union from owls. By unions the advancement of science - free, clear, unlimited any doctrines is possible? Whether 4) the culture can, which one disclaims highest values of thought, as Christ, Платона. Pascal, Band and пр., to be really Cultural, instead of rotational displacement to a dark middle ages, which one also operated with dogmas, behind which one people «неверующие» were routed on a chock, and present sacred, which one you magnify, and from which one on your supposition science just(now) began, do not become dogma for your clear at one time world outlook?
     Был Rad to hear the answer to those problems. Sincerely favourable to you, other V.Levyc'kyj» (* CDIA USSR in L'viv, f. 771, op. 1, spr. 41.) .

     Но Of the answer is obtained not было.

     М.Кравчук Repeatedly invited В.Levyc'kogo to operation in Kiev on any terms, but he was failed. And it избег of bitter destiny of the comrades М.Чайковского and academician S.Rudnyc'kyj, which one in 30 yy. Have moved in USSR and were repressed. The same destiny has met and М.Кравчука, which one has perished for prickly проволокой.

     Тесные Link were in В.Levyc'kogo with проф. y.Куренским, which one wrote to it(him) in June 1931 : «Ведь This year mathematical department «Сборника» I will be represented by many mathematicians, втулил of the whole four. Whether многовато? But I tried, that «Сборник» stood on suitable to him to height, as well as it is necessary to such aged журналу» (** There же.) .

     В «Сборнику» printed(published) the papers M.Krylov, М.Боголюбов, Д.Граве, М.Кравчук, y.Пфейфер, М.Куренский and other scientific from Major Ukraine. Therefore post-war level «Сборника» has increased sharply. At this time section gained also material aid from ВУАН.

     С 1924 . V.Levyc'kyj works the professional instructor of mathematics and physics in grammar schools, which one належат to the Lvov national district, simultaneously returns many forces to operation in NTSh. Already with 1926 on 1932 . V.Levyc'kyj becomes the vice-president NTSh, and with 1932 on 1934 - and chairman NTSh. After 1934 , through an aggravation of symptoms of health, he goes from a manual NTSh and becomes in the chapter of a mathematical natural doctoral section. V.Levyc'kyj was the editor «Сборника» from first ( 1897 ) and up to last, 32 volumes (1939 y.).

     С 1924 the section began to produce a magazine «Sitzungberichte», in which one the foreign languages print(published) the message on activity of a section and short mathematical papers like ours modern «Докладов Academies Наук». Due to this issuing of a section, which one was delivered in exchange, the library NTSh gained from above 100 respectable magazines on natural sciences from all world. Dr. V.Levyc'kyj was also to stationary values the employee амстердамского «Revue semstrielle des publikations masematiques», in which one abstracted all issuings Ukrainian языком

     V.Levyc'kyj The shares in creation of a miscellaneous kind of pedagogical companies, in particular(personally) in organized in 1927 . Company of the adherents of derivation in one @. L'viv, in which one was the chairman of a physical and mathematical section, in organization and holding of six congresses of the Ukrainian naturalists, engineers and doctors. Under his(its) edition and in his(its) translations into the Ukrainian language there were many operations of the miscellaneous foreign writers. Edited by it(him) «Сборник» enabled to appear before scientific community in many respects(much) young исследователям.

     В Thirtieth years In. Левицький edits mathematical and physical materials for the Ukrainian common encyclopedia. Then produces some popular booklets in библиотечке «Самообразование», dedicated history of science, astronomy, физике.

     Из October 1939 . V.Levyc'kyj the - at the Lvov state university by him(it) works at first in новообразованном the Lvov teacher's college, and with 1940 . I.Franko, where in 1941 to the it(him) was assigned a rank of the professor. During operation at university taught courses of the differential equations, a function theory complex переменного.

      14 July, 1956 В.Levyc'kogo did not become. In the newspaper некролог and has not appeared. And in due course not often mentioned about produced галицком mathematician, as V.Levyc'kyj stood on state positions. He perceived, that for build-up of independent Ukraine it is necessary to have the experts in all fields of knowledge, and in particular from environmental study.
