Steiner point (triangle)

In triangle geometry, the Steiner point is a particular point associated with a triangle.[1] It is a triangle center[2] and it is designated as the center X(99) in Clark Kimberling's Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers. Jakob Steiner (1796–1863), Swiss mathematician, described this point in 1826. The point was given Steiner's name by Joseph Neuberg in 1886.[2][3]
