Robert Steinberg (May 25, 1922, Soroca, Bessarabia, Romania (present-day Moldova) – May 25, 2014^[1]) was a mathematician at the University of California, Los Angeles.

He introduced the

Born in Soroca (then in the Kingdom of Romania, today in Moldova), Steinberg's parents settled in Canada very soon after his birth.

Steinberg studied under Richard Brauer and he received his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Toronto in 1948. Steinberg joined the Mathematics Department at UCLA the same year. He retired from UCLA in 1992.
