This collection of various texts on Karl Marx and Mathematics is
the revised and extended second edition of the Special Supplement
to Karl Marx, Mathematical Manuscripts (1994; Calcutta: Viswakos)
titled Marx and Mathematics. The sources of the texts included in
the three parts of this collection and, some biographical
information about their respective authors have been indicated at
the end of each text. The emergence and development of the
Ethnomathematics movement continue to change our understanding of
the history of evolution of plural mathematics on planet earth
since the Neolithic age. Rediscovery and study of some of the
neglected source texts have further energized investigations on the
subsequent history of mathematical cultures, including those on the
histories of algebra and analysis in some of the ancient and
medieval languages of Asia, like Sanskrit, Arabic and Malayalam.
Consequently, it is now possible to indicate some of the larger
gaps in the dominant understanding of history of mathematics not
only in Marx's time, but also at the time of editing Marx's
mathematical manuscripts in the twentieth century, and even today.
Finally, the emergence and development of mathematical and
statistical software packages are vigorously reshaping our ways of
conceptualizing and doing mathematics towards an unknown future. It
is time now for taking yet another look at all mathematical text
from the past and that includes the mathematical manuscripts of
Marx. These texts have been divided into three parts. Part one
contains some topical texts related to the history of emergence,
development, editing, publication and reception of the mathematical
manuscripts of Karl Marx. Part two contains a selection of five
articles reflecting some of the investigations inspired by these
manuscripts in Russia, India and France. Part three contains five
articles on plural mathematics before and after Karl Marx
(1818-1883). The texts in this collection are followed by two
appendices containing two bibliographies: one on Hegel and
mathematics and, the other on mathematics and semiotics. Please
note: This title is co-published with Aakar Books, Bew Delhi.
Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the print edition
in South Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan,
