I, of all the people, know -- "maxwelld" is meant to stand for "Maxwell's Daemon"
Apparently something has changed in a typical undergraduate physics curriculum over last thirty or so years -- I taught college physics ten-fifteen years ago and for sophomore-level E&M we would only cover Maxwell's equations in the honors sequence.
Nontheless, let's see what is written on girls backs.
from left to right ->
girl #1: general relativity: Lorentz transformation in the form of hyperbolic rotation in Minkowski space, Einstein equations, Cristoffel symbols.
girl #2: Maxwell's equations in differential form.
girl #3: Newton's second law, principle of least action, conservation law in the form of energy-momentum tensor, wave equation, Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution.
girl #4: Representation of Heisenberg uncertainty principle via commutation relationship, time-dependent Schrodinger equation, Feynman diagram of beta decay, Klein-Gordon equation (=relativistic version of Schrodinger eq.), Lie group representation of gauge symmetry in so-called Standard Model.
