American mathematician and electrical engineer (1865–1923)

Charles Proteus Steinmetz (born Karl August Rudolph Steinmetz; April 9, 1865 – October 26, 1923) was an American mathematician and electrical engineer and professor at Union College.

He fostered the development of alternating current that made possible the expansion of the electric power industry in the United States, formulating mathematical theories for engineers. He made ground-breaking discoveries in the understanding of hysteresis that enabled engineers to design better electromagnetic apparatus equipment, especially electric motors for use in industry.^[1][2][a]

At the time of his death, Steinmetz held over 200 patents.^[3] A genius in both mathematics and electronics, he did work that earned him the nicknames "Forger of Thunderbolts"^[4] and "The Wizard of Schenectady".^[5]Steinmetz's equation,^[6]Steinmetz solids, Stei
