I have a copy of Maxwell's two volumes on electromagnetism and what makes it difficult to read for me is that his "equations" are actually a long list of disparate equations that describe a unified theory. It's not a simple "answer" such as E=mc^2, it is a series of such descriptor answers. Mathematically, it is easier for me to focus on one aspect and study that aspect's equations (at a time).
