First semester of graduate school? When I first saw your first post, I wondered whether you meant first semester of undergraduate intro physics (e.g. Halliday/Resnick) or first semester of an intermediate undergraduate course (e.g. Marion or Symon).RisingChariot said:

Classical Mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with the motion of macroscopic objects under the influence of forces. It is based on the laws of motion and gravitation as described by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century.
Reading papers in Classical Mechanics allows scientists to stay updated on the latest research and developments in the field. It also helps to deepen their understanding of fundamental concepts and theories.
There are several ways to find papers to read in Classical Mechanics. One way is to search through online databases such as arXiv or Google Scholar. Another way is to attend conferences and workshops in the field, where researchers often present their latest work.
Some recommended papers to read in Classical Mechanics include "The Principles of Mechanics" by Sir Isaac Newton, "The Variational Principles of Mechanics" by Cornelius Lanczos, and "Classical Mechanics" by Herbert Goldstein, among others. It is also beneficial to read recent papers published in reputable journals in the field.
Yes, there are many open access papers available to read in Classical Mechanics. These can be found on websites such as arXiv, as well as through open access journals such as the Journal of Classical Mechanics and Physics. Additionally, many universities and research institutions have their own online repositories of open access papers.
