Otto Marcin Nikodym (3 August 1887 – 4 May 1974) was a Polish mathematician. He was born in 1887 in Demycze, a suburb of Zabłotów, to a family with Polish, Czech, Italian and French roots. Orphaned at a young age, he was brought up by his maternal grandparents. He studied mathematics at the University of Jan Kazimierz (UJK) in Lvov (today's University of Lviv). Immediately after his graduation in 1911, he started his teaching job at a high school in Kraków where he remained until 1924. He eventually obtained his doctorate in 1925 from the University of Warsaw; he also spent an academic year (1926-1927) in Sorbonne. Nikodym taught at the Universities of Kraków and Warsaw and at the Akademia Górnicza in Kraków in the years that followed.
