- 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.
