Reference excerpt

Levon Vrami Harutyunyan (Armenian: Լևոն Վռամի Հարությունյան; 13 December 1927 – 2007) was an Armenian biologist, University Professor, journalist, publicist, writer and science populariser, founder of Yerevan Haybusak University. Established in 1990, the Haybusak University became one of the first private universities in Armenia. He received numerous decorations for his work including Anania Shirakatsi medal from the President of Armenia.

Life and career Levon Vrami Harutyunyan was born 13 December 1927 in the village of Tovuz in the Tavush Province of Soviet Armenia. Harutyunyan studied and graduated from the Armenian Agricultural Institute (now known as Armenian National Agrarian University) in 1953. From 1956 to 1978, Harutyunyan worked at the National Academy of Sciences under its botany department. Meanwhile, in 1971, he became a member of the Union of Journalists of Armenia. In 1990, he founded the Yerevan "Haybusak" Institute (now Yerevan "2Haybusak" University) upon which he became leading rector. Thereafter, in 1994, he became the president of the scientific-educational association "Harutyun". In 1995, Harutyunyan became the head chairman of Biology and Biology Teaching Methods at the Yerevan State Pedagogical University. In 2006, he was nominated as the President of International Academy of Education. He was the head of the department of science within the academy.

Harutyunyan authored more than 400 research papers, about 400 essays, non-scientific journal articles, over 50 monographs, handbooks, method manuals and dictionaries. His notable publications (via Haybusak University Press) include Phytotherapy, Entertaining Botany, A Journey to the Hiding Places of Nature, The Nature of Armenia and Ways of its Preservation and Enrichment, and The Gardener's Encyclopaedia. He was involved with the landscaping of Yerevan and has authored several books on landscape preservation.

Family Harutyunyan and his wife Silva Aslikian had two daughters (Anahit and Anna) and one son (Suren).

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Levon Harutyunyan

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Levon Harutyunyan claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, 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 Levon Harutyunyan 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 Levon Harutyunyan 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 Levon Harutyunyan

In research: Levon Harutyunyan appears in biology 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 Levon Harutyunyan 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: Levon Harutyunyan is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1927 births, 2007 deaths, 20th-century Armenian writers, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Levon Harutyunyan 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.
