Talk:Benjamin Peirce

Did he have a son of the same name?
This Benjamin Peirce is too early to be the author of A Short Table of Integrals by Benjamin Osgood Peirce, "Hollis Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy in Harvard University" (also at Harvard note) - so surely that was his son? http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9A03EEDD1730E733A25756C1A9679C946596D6CF&oref=slogin  So is H. H. D. the daughter and Benjamin Osgood Peirce II the unnamed son? --catslash (talk) 17:11, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * B.O. Peirce is from a different progeny, as was G. W. Pierce, also a Harvard scientist. B.O. Peirce was not a quaternion enthusiast, as were James Mill Peirce and his father Benjamin.Rgdboer (talk) 21:29, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, it's clear now; they were second cousins once removed (i.e. Benjamin's great-grandfather Jerathmiel was Benjamin Osgood's great-great-grandfather), and the four of them (Benjamin, Benjamin, Benjamin Osgood 2nd and James Mill) were all at Harvard (according to http://books.nap.edu/html/biomems/bpeirce.pdf). I can't understand now why I didn't guess that. Thanks again for the swift reply --catslash (talk) 22:16, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Can someone confirm, that the Peirce-decomposition of rings was introduced by Benjamin Peirce and not by Benjamin Osgood Peirce?
