Early life and education
Witold Kazimierz Roter was born on September 20, 1932 in Zabrze-Pawłów[5]. He attended primary and then secondary school in Zabrze, and next, he studied mathematics at the University of Wrocław - 1st degree studies in 1950-1953 and 2nd degree studies (extramural) in 1955–1958. In 1958 he obtained a master's degree in mathematics. In 1953, after completing the first cycle of studies, he was ordered to work as a teacher at the Nowa Ruda Primary School No. 1 and in the Secondary School[5]. He worked there until 1961[6]. In the same year, he was accepted as a senior assistant at the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry of the University of Wrocław[5].
Witold Kazimierz Roter died on June 19, 2015 in Wrocław. He is buried at Osobowice Cemetery[2] in Wrocław
Academic Career
In 1963 at the Wrocław University he defended his doctoral thesis "On certain properties of recursive and weak-recursive spaces" written under the supervision of Władysław Ślebodziński, and next, in 1974 he obtained his habilitation. He was awarded the title of professor of mathematical sciences in 1992. He was an employee of the Mathematical Institute of the University of Wrocław, where he was deputy director of the Mathematical Institute, vice-dean of the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, and for many years he headed the Department of Geometry[7], and the Institute of Mathematics of the Wrocław University of Technology[5].
