Charles Alfred CoulsonFRS FRSE (13 December 1910 – 7 January 1974) was a British applied mathematician and theoretical chemist.[1][2][3][4]
Coulson's major scientific work was as a pioneer of the application of the quantum theory of valency to problems of molecular structure, dynamics and reactivity. He was also a Methodist lay preacher, served on the World Council of Churches from 1962 to 1968, and was chairman of Oxfam from 1965 to 1971.
