I wish I could find a good primer on elliptic integrals. They come up constantly in magnetic fields and are impractically hard to solve. I mean you can do it, and I've seen it done, but give myself 5% odds of pulling it off myself. My feeling is that this is why only a handful of magnetic field equations are provided in textbooks.
