master and phd next!

Could this (or something similar) be found in public access/some libraries?

There is only a single paper that has published a similar derivation but with a critical mistake. To be fair there are many documented examples of how to derive parametric relationships in linkages and can be quite methodical. I think I could get Gemini or 3.5 to do it but not single shot/ultra fast like here.

Yes usually most of the topics covered in undergraduate studies are well documented and understood and therefore will likely be part of the training data of the AI.

Once you get to graduate studies that's where the material coverage is a little more sparse/niche (though usually still not groundbreaking), and for a PhD. coverage is mostly non-existent since the point is to expand upon current knowledge within the field and many topics are being explored for the first time.
