Physics and chemistry professors smugly dismiss old textbooks, but the math professor is like "2+2=4 since Babylonian times, deal with it." Euclid's Elements from 300 BCE is still taught today while Newton's physics got wrecked by Einstein and chemistry textbooks become doorstops after each new particle discovery. The mathematical flex is real—proving once again that numbers are the ultimate flex in the academic hierarchy. Pythagoras would be so proud his theorem hasn't needed a software update in 2500 years.
