Carl Benjamin Boyer (November 3, 1906 – April 26, 1976) was an American historian of sciences, and especially mathematics. Novelist David Foster Wallace called him the "Gibbon of math history".[2] It has been written that he was one of few historians of mathematics of his time to "keep open links with contemporary history of science."[3]
