Kárteszi was, for forty-eight years, professor of mathematics at Eötvös Loránd University, serving as head of the Department of Descriptive and Projective Geometry, Dean of the Faculty of Science, and later Prorector.

He published papers in classical geometry, projective geometry, discrete and combinatorial geometry, (classical) algebraic geometry, discrete and combinatorial geometry, elementary and descriptive geometry, combinatorics, finite geometry, and foundations of geometry... He was a devoted teacher, and even his mathematical works contain didactic ideas.

He published about 120 papers in mathematics and the didactics of mathematics and wrote 11 books' (Korchmáros Szönyi, 'Ferenc Kárteszi: A Short Biography', Contributions to Discrete Mathematics, volume 2, number 3, 2008).
