Steklov was a student of Lyapunov. His main work was on applied mathematics, working of mechanics, fluids, potential theory and hydromechanics.

Steklov reduced problems to boundary value problems of Dirichlet type where Laplace's equation must be solved on a surface. He generalised Parseval's equality for Fourier series.
