Math doesn't change, we just learn more about it.

The mathematical knowledge we had thousands of years ago is still true, and it always will be.

Math doesn't change, we just learn more about it.

Isn't that true of almost all the sciences?

The difference is that if something is proven mathematically it's 100% certain and will not change. In other sciences you may be taught things that later turn out to be flat out wrong.

Not if it's later shown that your set of axioms lead to a contradiction.

In that case have fun re-proofing everything with new axioms.
