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?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Good Question. I think the same confusion exists for Euclid's Elements. I could never figure out which edition to buy.

i have not seen them all, but mine is the cambridge university press edition which is not cheap, but excellent.

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?
