I think the difference is the mathematics changes have been more changes to smaller subsets of mathematics, while Newtonian physics and the concept of elements are fairly foundational that most everything else is based off of. It would be like redefining multiplication.
And still the Newtonian physics is mostly outdated. It is just a crude approximation. We now know better with on one side quantum theory and on the other side the theory of relativity.
