Édouard Goursat

Édouard Jean-Baptiste Goursat (21 May 1858 – 25 November 1936) was a French mathematician, now remembered principally as an expositor for his Cours d'analyse mathématique, which appeared in the first decade of the twentieth century.

It set a standard for the high-level teaching of mathematical analysis, especially complex analysis.This text was reviewed by William Fogg Osgood for the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society.

This led to its translation into English by Earle Raymond Hedrick published by Ginn and Company.Goursat also published texts on partial differential equations and hypergeometric series.
