Besides being trained in the military arts, he studied mathematics at Cambridge University. Following his graduation from the university, he compiled a treatise titled An Introduction to the Calculus of Variations. He also published in France a study on the mathematical principles of missiles under the title M¨¦moire sur un nouveau syst¨¨me de confection des fus¨¦es de guerre. On his return to Turkey he was appointed director of the Turkish Military Academy (1841-1846). He was also a member of the Ottoman Academy of Sciences (Enc¨¹men-i Dani£¿), established in 1851.
