Jakob Steiner (1796-1863) geometer
Among the well known objects in triangle geometry are the Steiner point and Steiner ellipse, named in honor of Jakob Steiner. The latter is the ellipse that passes through the three vertices of a triangle ABC and has the centroid of ABC as its center. This ellipse has not only the points A,B,C in common with the circumcircle of triangle ABC, but also a fourth point, namely, the Steiner point. The classical construction of the Steiner point (link below), however, does not depend on the Steiner ellipse. Steiner was one of the greatest of all geometers. Born to a farm family near Bern, Switzerland, at first his opportunities for education were meager. It is said that he first learned to write at the age of fourteen. However, within the next four years, his mathematical powers had been recognized, and he was permitted to attend the famous innovative school of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi in Yverdon, Switzerland. Before reaching the age of twenty, he was teaching mathematics at the school. In 1818, Steiner moved to Heidelberg, Germany, where he gave private instruction in mathematics. Three years later, he moved to Berlin and continued teaching. There he became acquainted with N. H. Abel (as in

Osnovna misel v njegovih delih je graditev sestavljenih geometrijskih tvorb iz enostavnih s pomočjo operacije projiciranja. Najpomembnejše je njegovo delo iz leta Systematische Entwicklung der Ahaengigkeit geometrischer Gestalten voneinander . Velja za največjega geometrista po Apoloniju in je eden od začetnikov sodobne, sintetične geometrije. Ukvarjal se je tudi s kombinatoričnimi problemi, kjer so znane njegove Steinerjeve trojice (tripleti), ki jih je prvi raziskoval Kirkman leta . Leto velja za začetek teorije shem (modelov). spremeni

Steiner, Jakob (1796-1863)

German mathematician who was the greatest geometer of modern times. He investigated the Steiner points and proved the Poncelet-Steiner theorem which states that all Euclidean constructions can be performed with a straightedge alone, provided one is given a single fixed circle He proved that a surface of third order contains only 27 lines, and discovered inversive geometry. His treatment of projective geometry was published in Systematische Entwicklungen (1832). He was a prolific writer on geometry who established and discussed the skew projection.

JAKOB STEINER
STEINER, JAKOB (1796-1863), Swiss mathematician, was born on the 18th of March 1796 at the village of Utzendorf (canton Bern). At eighteen he became a pupil of Heinrich Pestalozzi, and afterwards studied at Heidelberg. Thence he went to Berlin, earning a livelihood there, as in Heidelberg, by giving private lessons. Here he became acquainted with A. L. Crelle, who, encouraged by his ability and by that of N. H. Abel, then also staying at Berlin, founded his famous Journal (1326), After Steiners publication (1832) of his Systematische Entwickelungen he received, through Jacobis exertions, who was then professor at Konigsberg, an honorary degree of that university; and through the influence of G. J. Jacobi and of the brothers Alexander and Wilhelm von Humboldt a new chair of geometry was founded for him at Berlin (1834). This he occupied till his death, which took place in Bern on the 1st of April 1863, Steiners mathematical work was confined to geometry. This he treated synthetically, to the total exclusion of analysis, which he hated, and he is said to have considered it a disgrace to synthetical geometry if equal or higher results were obtained by analytical methods. In his own field he surpassed all hi~ contemporaries. His investigations are distinguished by their great generality, by the fertility of his resources, and by such a rigour in his proofs that he has been considered the greatest geometrical genius since the time of Apollonius. In a second little volume, Die geometrischen Consiructionen ausgefzilirt mittels! der geraden Linie und eines festen Kresses (1833), republished in 1895 by Ottingen, he shows, what had been already suggested by J. V. Poncelet, how all problems of the second order can be solved by aid of the straight-ed,ge alone without the use of compasses, as soon as one circle is given on the drawing-paper. He also wrote Vorlesungen ber synthetische Geometric, published posthumously at Leipzig by C. F. Geiser and H. Schroeter in 1867; a third edition by R. Sturm was published in 1887-1898.

Steiner, Jakob Swiss mathematician, the founder of modern synthetic, or projective, geometry. He discovered the Steiner surface (also called the Roman surface), which has a double infinity of conic sections on it, and the Steiner theorem.
Steiner was born at Utzenstorf, near Bern, and did not learn to read and write until the age of 14. After training as a teacher in Germany, he was admitted to the University of Berlin 1822. By 1825 he was teaching at the university and in 1834 a professorship of geometry was created for him, which he held for the rest of his life.
His first published paper, which appeared in 1826, contained his discovery of the geometrical transformation known as inversion geometry.
The Steiner theorem states that two pencils (collections of geometric objects) by which a conic is projected from two of its points are projectively related.
In the Steiner-Poncelet theorem, an extension of work done by French mathematician Jean Poncelet in 1822, Steiner proved that any Euclidean figure could be generated using only a straight rule if the plane of construction had a circle with its centre marked drawn on it already.
