    One of my college text books on Electromagnetism with the heavy calculus and derivations of Maxwell’s Equations to either Leonhard Euler or Isaac Newton, one of the extremely few people in the 17th century that would be able to understand the math and use the math to actually generate electricity.

      Please reconsider avoiding Newton if you are offered the opportunity to send a book back in time. He was a narcissistic dick who used his influence to fuck over other academics (Leibniz, Hooke), and plagiarized and stole the work of others without crediting them (Flamsteed).
