top
Franciszek Otto was born in 1904 in Lvov. In 1921, he obtained a master’s degree in engineering. In the years 1927-1941 he worked as an  assistant at the Lvov Polytechnic. In 1945, he moved to Gdańsk, where he distinguished himself in launching higher education, including the Gdańsk University of Technology. He received the title of professor  in 1972. In 1975 he retired. He left just a few  articles and two textbooks. He specialized in descriptive and projective geometry. He was an active member of the Gdańsk Branch of the Polish Mathematical Society, taking an active part in its development. In recognition of his  merits for the organization, the General Meeting of PTM on September 15, 1986 gave F. Otto the title of Honorary Member of PTM. He was fascinated by numismatics. He died in Gdańsk in 2000.
