  Stieltjes, Thomas Jan - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Stieltjes, Thomas Jan
Stieltjes was born in Zwolle and studied at the polytechnic in Delft.
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.

Thomas Stieltjes started his studies at the Polytechnical School of Delft in 1873, but spent his student years reading Gauss and Jacobi in the library rather than attending lectures, resulting in many failed examinations.
Stieltjes went with his family to Paris in 1885, and in the same year he was elected to the Royal Academy of Sciences in Amsterdam.
In the same year Stieltjes was appointed to the University of Toulouse, being appointed to a chair in 1889.

Stieltjes started his studies at the Polytechnical School of Delft in 1873 but spent his student years reading Gauss and Jacobi in the library rather than attending lectures.
Perhaps the most significant event in Stieltjes' life, as far as mathematics was concerned, occurred on 8 November 1882 when he began a correspondence with Hermite which was to last the rest of his life (which would only be 12 more years during which time they exchanged 432 letters).
The year 1883 was eventful for Stieltjes for he married Elizabeth Intveld in May. Although clearly an important event in Stieltjes' personal life, this was also an important event for Stieltjes as a mathematician for his wife strongly encouraged him to move from astronomical work to mathematics.
