    Depends from the field really, a math paper from the 70s would be considered fairly recent in some cases.

        I took a quantum physics class that used a textbook from the 70s, and it only covered ideas discovered around the 20s. Most courses only need really old knowledge

          Yeah but it was speculating how carbon in the air might be a bad thing and how electric vehicles might some day be feasibly commonplace. Little bit out of date

      An undergrad math degree stops right around the start of the 20th century. Grad school might get you to the 80s in specific areas.
