Charles Leonard Bouton (25 April 1869 − 20 February 1922) was an American mathematician.

He was born in St Louis, Missouri where his father was an engineer.[1]

Education

Bouton studied in the public schools of St Louis. He later received a Master of Science degree from the Washington University.[1] In 1898 he received his doctorate from Leipzig University. His Ph.D. advisor was Sophus Lie.[2]

Teaching

He taught at the Smith Academy, Washington University and Harvard University.[1] From 1900 to 1902 Bouton was an editor of the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society.[1]

Publications

In 1902 Bouton published a solution of the game Nim.[3]

This result is today viewed as the birth of combinatorial game theory.
