So I want to read Euler's : Elements of Algebra. However, I see many editions on Amazon. What is the best version of this book?

Good Question. I think the same confusion exists for Euclid's Elements. I could never figure out which edition to buy.

The price is not steep for a book that is deemed to be of quality mathematics.

One question tho. Is the typing in the Cambridge version nice, i.e., not of the typeset Dover books are?

Thread 'What is the best conceptual high school physics book?'

i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
