Original Note:
Marx was not trying to disprove derivatives in his work, that excerpt misrepresents his argument. He was merely debating the merits of thinking of derivatives in terms of infinitesimals, which at the time were not yet formalized. https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1881/mathematical-manuscripts/ch03.html
