In 1884 Peirce was promoted to Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Physics, working under Joseph Lovering who was Hollis Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy at Harvard. Peirce was assisted in developing the teaching of mathematical physics at Harvard by his colleague William E Byerly. Together they taught calculus and its applications, constructing a two year course which Peirce and Byerly taught starting in alternate years. Each wrote a text based on half the material of the course but, given the structure of their course, it was natural that they contributed to both books. Byerly's text Elements of the integral calculus was first published in 1881, while Peirce's text Elements of the theory of the Newtonian potential function was first published in 1886.
