摘要

This dissertation is a history of David Eugene Smith's collection of historical books, manuscripts, portraits, and instruments related to mathematics. The study analyzes surviving documents, images, objects, college announcements and catalogs, and secondary sources related to Smith's collection. David Eugene Smith (1860--1944) travelled the world in search of rare and interesting pieces of mathematics history. He enjoyed sharing these experiences and objects with his family, friends, colleagues, and students. Smith's collection had a remarkable journey itself. It was once part of the Educational Museum of Teachers College. This museum existed from 1899--1914 and was quite popular among educators and students. Smith was director of the museum beginning in 1909, although, he had a major influence on the museum from the moment he began his professorship at Teachers College in 1901.;After the Educational Museum of Teachers College disbanded, the collection was exhibited in numerous venues. George A. Plimpton (1855--1936) created the Permanent Educational Exhibit that housed both modern educational items, as well as, historical pieces for display. Since Smith and Plimpton were great friends and fellow collectors, Smith's collection was included in the historical section of Plimpton's establishment. Unfortunately, due to the hard times of the world at this moment, the Permanent Educational Exhibit closed in 1917. Smith continued to exhibit his collection of mathematical artifacts through the Museums of the Peaceful Arts, founded by George F. Kunz (1856--1932), the New York Museum of Science and Industry, Teachers College, and Columbia University.;Smith's research, teaching, and publications were directly influenced by his collection. Throughout most of his published works are images and photographs of items in his collection. He also believed in the importance of having primary sources included in mathematics education. This view he followed in his own teaching, which included research in his collection.;David Eugene Smith's collection could never be replicated and thus is quite unique and valuable. Smith donated his collection to Columbia University's Libraries in the 1930s. Various exhibits of his collection have occurred since then, the most recent concluded in 2003. The history of Smith's mathematical collection is important to the history of mathematics education as it displays the importance of preserving mathematical books, manuscripts, portraits, and instruments for future generations to research.

Plimpton，1855--1936年）创立了永久性教育展品，其中既收藏了现代教育用品，也展示了历史作品。由于史密斯（Smith）和普林普顿（Plimpton）是好朋友和收藏家，因此史密斯的收藏被纳入普林普顿（Plimpton）创立的历史部分。不幸的是，由于此时此刻的世界困难时期，永久性教育展览于1917年关闭。史密斯继续通过乔治·F·昆茨（1856--1932年）创立的和平艺术博物馆展示其数学文物收藏。 ），纽约科学与工业博物馆，师范学院和哥伦比亚大学。;史密斯的研究，教学和出版物受到他收藏的直接影响。在他大部分已发表的作品中，都有收藏品的图像和照片。他还相信将主要资源纳入数学教育的重要性。他在自己的教学中遵循了这种观点，他的教学中包括研究。大卫·尤金·史密斯（David Eugene Smith）的藏品永远无法复制，因此非常独特且有价值。史密斯（Smith）在1930年代将他的藏品捐赠给了哥伦比亚大学的图书馆。从那时起，他的藏品开始出现各种展览，最近的一次展览于2003年结束。史密斯的数学藏品的历史对数学教育史非常重要，因为它显示了为子孙后代保存数学书籍，手稿，肖像和乐器的重要性。研究。
