By outdated what I more mean is that I think if the greats of the ~1800 had modern computers they would probably not use mathematics in its current form to study physics. There already has been on transition of this kind. Newton used Geometry to study physics whereas today we use Math which more has its roots in symbolic logic.

If people in 1800s had modern computers we'd be sitting now on ruins of the global nuclear war of 1850 all watching TikTok.
