In 1887 he accepted a position' as, instructor of mathematics in the Friedrich VVerderschule, Berlin. In the..same year he published his Hrst book, 'fThe Propagation of Heat in a Homogeneous Rectangular Parallelo- piped. Two years later he was appointed to a position in the State Mining Bureau of San Francisco, which he held till 1890, when he was appointed instructor of mathematics in the Hoboken Academy.
