Agree.

There is no reason undergraduate Physics and Math books should cost so damn much, as the theorems have been around for over a hundred years in almost all cases. I hear that Biology changes constantly, but I can't think of anything else where undergraduate level work changes at all within a decade.

OK, programming, but most of the algorithms are old.
