Is the subject of gravitational waves the most difficult one to grasp on the theory of Relativity? Or is it just the math that is very complicated?

The answers to these questions are going to be a matter of opinion. That makes them off topic for this forum. If you want to know whether the subject is going to be difficult for you, the only way to find out is to try it and see.
