OP sounds like a tool but it is legitimately funny that people preserved some of Marx's writings on calculus and he fucks some pretty basic stuff up. If you Google around a bit you can find real Marx writing about how dy/dx = 0/0 and anyone who doesn't understand that is a fool.

Marx knew calculus, bitch. Sadly he was unfamiliar with the work of leading contemporary mathematicians like Weierstrass, Riemann, and Cantor. Engels mentions Marx's distraction by mathematical studies. If Marx was better at math we wouldn't have had to wait over 100 years for the temporal single-system interpretation.

Marx' mathematical abilities weren't even questioned in the OP.

One would think humanities students would at least have decent reading comprehension, but alas.

Of course not you idiot, have you ever seen a group of automorphisms? Or perhaps an algebric field? No.
Mathematics is not about Truth, its about usefulness. We define abstract objects choosing axioms that let us prove neat things and construct diverse structures to come to interesting applications once we find a real world object that can be modelled by the abstract mathematical object

>> No.7362212

>>7361132
You represent the dumbness itself. So you pretend that mathematics it's only some sort of tool that its final great end is to model the world? If you have studied the degree of mathematics I'm sorry for you wasting your money. You know nothing of what mathematics is about.
I don't see how Gödel's incompleteness theorem, or how a non Frechét-Uryshon space make good model of reality. You're probably one of those people who doesn't even know how they got the degree and struggled very hard to understand why somebody would need measure theory.
