Physics and chemistry textbooks have the shelf life of milk left in a hot car, but math books? Those ancient tomes could survive nuclear winter.

While physicists dismiss anything pre-Newton as medieval nonsense and chemists scoff at texts predating electron discovery, mathematicians are over here using theorems from 300 BCE like they were published yesterday. Pythagoras would walk into a modern classroom and be like, "Yep, that's my triangle thing. Still works!"

Math isn't less evolved—it's just built different. It's the cockroach of academic disciplines: unchanging, indestructible, and guaranteed to outlive us all.
