Marx's Mathematical Manuscripts

[Creative Destruction]

Has anyone read through these? I know it's primarily about infinitesimal calculus, but is the work in there worth anything other than maybe a historical interest (that is, the fact that Marx wrote it?)

Where can I find these at? Is it in its own document or scattered throughout Marx's works?

[Creative Destruction]

it seems to be it's own work, but wasn't published when Marx was alive, so it could be of dodgy quality. i don't have enough of a mathematical background to judge one way or the other. Lafarge mentioned it in his memoriam of Marx, which is the first i had heard of it. but it's on MIA:

Might have a look if I have the time.

i looked at this once a few years back when i was reading his economic writings. honestly, i think it is pretty useless to look at. TBH marx seems to have taught himself a lot of his maths and i think that is what this is. i showed it to a radical friend who teaches math at uni and he didn't find it very interesting either...
