Abstract
Let R be the ring of algebraic integers in a number field K and let L be a maximal order in a semisimple K-algebra B. Building on our previous work, we compute the smallest number of algebra generators of L considered as an R-algebra. This reproves and vastly extends the results of P.A.B. Pleasants, who considered the case when B is a number field. In order to achieve our goal, we obtain several results about counting generators of algebras which have finitely many elements. These results should be of independent interest.
