In 1955 he submitted his thesis to Lvov University.The official opponent of the thesis was Boris Ya.Levin who highly praised Gol'dberg's accomplishments.This began the strong scientific contacts and personal friendship between Gol'dberg and Kharkov scholars which continue to this day.The successful defense of the thesis in 1955 made it possible for Gol'dberg to get a position of Docent at the just organized Uzhgorod University.In those yeais Uzhgorod was a small provincial town on the Western border of the Soviet Union, not very far from Lvov.In 1963, Gol'dberg received the same position in the much higher regarded Lvov University, and in 1965 completed his Doctoral thesis, a fundamental opus more than 600 pages.One of main achievements of his Doctoral thesis was the theory of integration with respect to a semi-additive measure, with numerous applications to estimates of entire functions.Its successful defense at Kharkov University made it possible for him to claim for a position of Professor at Lvov University.He got this position in 1968 and still occupies it at present in spite of many offers to move.*In 1965 Gol'dberg began his seminar at the Mathematics Department of Lvov University, on Tuesdays for two hours.Almost all results of Lvov mathematicians related to the theory of entire and meromorphic functions were thoroughly considered and discussed at the seminar.Gol'dberg maintains strong scientific ties with many mathematicians.In addition to numerous connections with Kharkov scholars, Gol'dberg kept his ties with late Nikolai Govorov, with many mathematicians from Erevan, Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk, Ufa, Vilnius.Many of them used to come to Lvov to talk at his seminar.With many of his colleagues Gol'dberg keeps intensive correspondence.Besides mathematics, his letters contain concise reports on current economical and political developments, local news, short reminiscences, interesting historical remarks, everything flavored with a wonderful humor.Gol'dberg's talent as a remarkable storyteller goes hand in hand with the literary quality of his letters.In 1964 Gol'dberg manied Basya B. Lekhtrnan.They have three sons, Alexander, Mikhael and Victor.Gol'dberg brings up a son, Mark, from a previous marriage.
