His reputation as a mathematician was established by 1834 and an honorary doctorate was conferred on him by the University of Bonn.
His work appeared in Gergonne's Annales de mathématiques pures et appliquées vols.
v, vii, viii, and ix (1830–32); in the third part (1833) of Meier Hirsch's "Sammlung Geometrischer Aufgaben"; and in "Sammlung von Aufgaben und Lehrsätzen aus der Analytischen Geometrie des Raumes" (published in 1837, written earlier).
After the war he returned to banking and taught mathematics until 1834, when the founder of the academy at which he was teaching died.
He then left teaching and spent nine years as the head revenue officer for the Berliner Kassenverein, retiring in 1843.
