Mechanica Vol. I (1736)
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
While no formal published book edition of an English translation of Euler's 'Mechanica' (1736) was found in major library catalogs or scholarly databases, the work is known to have been translated by Ian Bruce (available online). As this is a scholarly, non-commercial translation rather than a published book edition, it qualifies as the first complete translation.

Leonhard Euler discards the limitations of geometry to build modern physics on the rigorous foundation of calculus. This book transforms how we view motion by treating objects as mathematical points subject to clear, analytical laws.
