SUMMARY:Surely there's no ethics in mathematics? - Maurice Chiodo (Univers
 ity of Cambridge)

CONTACT:Valentin Hübner
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Mathematics is both the language and the instrument 
 that connects our abstract understanding with the physical world\, thus kn
 owledge of mathematics quickly translates to substantial knowledge and inf
 luence on the way the world works. But those who have the greatest ability
  to understand and manipulate the world hold the greatest capacity to do d
 amage and inflict harm. In this talk I'll explain that yes\, there is ethi
 cs in mathematics\, and that it is up to us as mathematicians to make good
  ethical choices in order to prevent our work from becoming harmful.\n\n--
