Prof.
Christos H. Papadimitriou taught a course named
CS294: Reading the Classics. I thought it's interesting. We are told to read some classics like Shakespeare, Dickens, or Byron, but no one said we should read the classics in science.
Yes, the development of sicence is a procedure of improvement. Bible changes as time goes by. But the most seminal idea might be skipped for writing textbooks. In fact, P.S.de Laplace had said that "Read Euler, read Euler, he is the master of us all."
People like
Babar K. Zafar collected some classic papers. It's cool. I want to collect papers I am interested in, too. (Although I am not sure that I have enough ability to distinguish which papers are classic.)
