Does your history book teach you about applied mathematics?
No, but my history book has never been claimed to be divinely inspired by a perfect, ineffable Being.
I don't think the problem is that the Bible doesn't get science correct (I wouldn't expect to see the equivalent of F = ma in Leviticus, for example), but that the Bible gets science explicitly wrong, which is hardly what one would expect from a book claimed to be inspired by perfection.
