Blatter attended the humanistic grammar school in Basel and studied mathematics at the University of Basel from 1954 to 1960 , where he received his doctorate in 1960 under Heinz Huber ( About extreme lengths on closed surfaces ). He was then a scholarship holder of the Swiss National Science Foundation as an assistant at the ETH Zurich and from 1962 to 1964 visiting assistant professor at Stanford University . In 1964 he became assistant professor at the ETH Zurich, in 1970 associate professor and in 1979 full professor. In 2000 he retired from the ETH.
He studied analysis and geometry and wrote a three-volume textbook on analysis.
He is a member of the DMV , the American Mathematical Society and the Swiss Mathematical Society, and has been an honorary member since 1994.
