Baker Models

Resources

American History Museum

Baker’s papers are in the University Archives, Special Collections, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa.

For images and brief accounts of the Baker models at the University of Arizona, see Mathematical Models at the University of Arizona, accessed April 5, 2021.

Baker published two lists of his mathematical models, namely:

Richard P. Baker, A List of Mathematical Models, 1905.

Richard P. Baker, Mathematical Models, Iowa City, Iowa, 1931.

Acknowledgments

Cataloging and photography of the Baker models owes much to NMAH staff and volunteers, particularly photographer Harold Dorwin and mathematician and historian of mathematics Judy Green. The banner image is by Drew Robarge.
