Kerékjártó earned his Ph.D.
degree from the University of Budapest. He taught at the Faculty of Sciences
of the University of Szeged
from 1922, and at the University of Budapest from 1938. In 1923, he published one of the first books on Topology; Hermann Weyl
wrote that this book completely changed his views of the subject.
