It does not explain why there have to be repeated posts about all these different areas of math instead of one single post on the general topic. See also mathoverflow.net/questions/327697/…. | |

| Jul 21, 2020 at 22:53 | comment | added | Jochen Glueck | I agree wirh @KConrad. By the way, it might be just my ignorance, but I have difficulties to see the point of the requirement "with exercises". When you are looking for old books on various subjects, is there a specific reason why you are only interested in books that contain exercises? | |
| Jul 21, 2020 at 22:46 | comment | added | KConrad | A year ago you posted a large number of separate questions of this kind, asking for oldest books in various areas of math with exercises (always hoping for "some hidden gems from before the 20th century"). Please consider posting just once a big-list request for the oldest books in different areas of math with exercises, rather than all of these separate questions marching (potentially) through all areas of mathematics that are all the same question. | |

| Jul 21, 2020 at 18:55 | comment | added | YCor | Isn't it just the meaning of "algebra"? | |
| Jul 21, 2020 at 18:21 | comment | added | Michael Greinecker | @YCor Do you prefer the timeless "modern" instead? | |
