Léopold Leau (1868-1943) was a French mathematician,[1] primarily known for his ties to international auxiliary languages.
The Delegation for the Adoption of an International Auxiliary Language was founded on January 7, 1901 on Leau's initiative.[2] He co-wrote with Prof. Louis Couturat the monumental Histoire de la Langue Universelle (1903) and its supplement Les Nouvelles Langues Internationales (1907).[3]
