Biography

Davor Butković was born in 1935 in Split, where he completed his secondary school education in 1953. In 1960 and in 1967, he obtained a BSc degree in Electrical Engineering from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and a BSc degree in Pure Mathematics from the Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb. In 1962, he started to work in the Institute of Applied Mathematics at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, where he worked until 2000. He received his MSc degree and PhD degree from the Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, in 1973 and in 1975, respectively. Dr Butković was appointed assistant professor, associate professor and full professor in 1975, 1981, and 1987, respectively. In 1998, he was appointed full professor with tenure. From 2000 to 2002 he worked as Assistant Minister for International Cooperation at the Ministry of Science and Technology, and from 2003 until his retirement in 2006 he was employed at the Department of Mathematics, University of Osijek.

Dr Butković taught courses at undergraduate and postgraduate studies at the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Zagreb, and universities of Split, Osijek and Tuzla. In the 1983-84 academic year, he was a visiting professor at the University of Florida. He also paid longer and shorter study visits to Rennes, Warsaw, Perugia, Kiev and Graz. Dr Butković has authored or co-authored about twenty scientific papers in the field of measure theory, summability theory and probability theory. He has published two books at the University of Osijek, parts of which and first editions were published as course materials. Dr Butković was awarded the 1995  Josip Lončar gold medal by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Zagreb, and in 2002 he was awarded the Ordre des Palmes Académiques by the French Republic pour services rendus a la culture française.

Professor Davor Butković passed away on 2020.

Životopis

Davor Butković, rođen je 1935. u Splitu, gdje je 1953. završio Realnu gimnaziju. U Zagrebu je 1960. diplomirao elektrotehniku na ETF-u, a 1967. teorijsku matematiku na PMF-u. Na ETF-u se zaposlio 1961. u Zavodu za primijenjenu matematiku gdje je radio do 2000. Magistrirao je 1973. i doktorirao je 1975. na PMF-u. Biran je za docenta 1975., za izvanrednog profesora 1981., za redovitog profesora 1987., a za redovitog profesora u trajnom zvanju 1998. Od 2000. do 2002. je radio kao pomoćnik ministra za međunarodnu suradnju u Ministarstvu znanosti i tehnologije, a od 2003. do umirovljenja 2006. bio je zaposlen na Odjelu za matematiku Sveučilišta u Osijeku.

Na redovnim i postdiplomskim studijima je predavao na PMF-u i FER-u u Zagrebu, te sveučilištima u Splitu, Osijeku i Tuzli. Akademske godine 1983./84. je kao gostujući profesor predavao na University of Florida, a bio je i u Rennesu, Varšavi, Perugii, Kijevu i Grazu na duljim i kraćim studijskim boravcima. Objavio je sam ili s drugima dvadesetak znanstvenih radova iz teorije mjere, teorije sumabilnosti i teorije vjerojatnosti. U izdanju Sveučilišta u Osijeku objavio je dva udžbenika, čiji su dijelovi i prva izdanja tiskani kao skripta. Dobitnik je zlatne plakete Josip Lončar zagrebačkog FER-a za 1995., a 2002. je primio i odlikovanje Ordre des Palmes Académiques Republike Francuske pour services rendus a la culture française.

Profesor Davor Butković preminuo je 2020.
