Stieltjes studied almost all the problems in analysis then known – the theory of ordinary and partial differential equations, Euler's gamma functions, elliptic functions, interpolation theory, and asymptotic series.
Stieltjes was the first mathematician to give a general treatment of continued fractions as part of complex analytical function theory.
