Maxwell's equations utilize or can produce all of the following EXCEPT:


Formulations for magnetic monopoles
Vector functions for electric and magnetic fields


A formulation where the speed of light can be calculated
Quantities of charge and current
Permeability and permittivity of a vacuum



Magnetic monopoles are forbidden in the understanding of electromagnetism as formulated by Maxwell. According to Maxwell's equations, every magnet has two "poles", much like the "north" and "south" on a bar magnet.
