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.
