Even during the period when Marx was completely
involved with the analysis of the capitalist mode of production in order to
study its laws of internal development, he meticulously followed the progress
of the natural sciences. Encouraged by these studies, he also made several
inroads in mathematics, paying special attention to differential and integral
calculus, considering its logical and philosophical foundations. These studies
had begun many years previously, but intensified in 1865/1866, as they were
intended to build solid theoretical support for his studies of political
economy.
