This is one reason I really liked my Dynamics professor. On the first day of class, he wrote "F=ma" on the white board and said, "See that equation? It hasn't changed much in the last 200 years. You don't need to buy the newest edition of the textbook; it's mostly just fixing errata. The lessons are virtually the same as the first edition."
