A further paper submitted to the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1802 made it clear that this school teacher of mathematics had an outstanding research talent (although it later transpired that Legendre had discovered the results six years earlier).
Ang isang karagdagang papel na isinumite sa Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1802 ginawa ito ng malinaw na ito sa paaralan guro ng matematika nagkaroon ng isang pananaliksik natitirang talento (bagaman ito mamaya transpired na Legendre may natuklasan ang mga resulta ng anim na taon na mas maaga).
