All’età di sedici anni si iscrisse all’Università Yale ove si laureò con lode nel 1840. Iniziò la sua carriera accademica come assistente presso il Girard College a Filadelfia. Nel 1841 fu nominato docente di matematica della United States Navy e per qualche tempo prestò servizio sulla nave USS Mississippi (1841). Questo servizio lo convinse della necessità che gli Stati Uniti si dotassero di una Accademia Navale. Nel 1842 fu messo a capo della Philadelphia Naval School ove propose una riorganizzazione dei corsi che fu messa in atto nel 1845. Nello stesso anno partecipò alla fondazione della United States Naval Academy ad Annapolis ove insegnò diverse discipline tra cu (it)
