It depends on the field.
In an intro to physics course, I've cited the Principia before without issues.
I've also cited the Cyropaedia in a philosophy course.
I got a significant penalty for citing a 2013 article for a software design paper.
What do you do to write for physics, philosophy and software design papers?
Not OP, but attend undergrad. When I was in undergrad I specialized in chemistry, but I still needed to take breadth requirement courses in humanities and social sciences. So I did papers in chemistry, physics, statistics, political theory, ancient Greek history, and English throughout my undergrad.
I'm working on my third bachelor's degree.
A degree in the classics pays absolute shit, and math teachers are still paid shit, albeit slightly more than Starbucks. It turns out I hate children more than anticipated.
good God.
