DESCRIPTION:Mathematicians sit at the heart of technological advancement a
 nd\nindustrial progress. Mathematics is a universal tool. It can be used f
 or\ngood\, and it can be used for harm. To begin\, we look at where harmfu
 l\nsituations may arise\, and what exactly we as mathematicians are doing 
 to\ncontribute to that harm. Though this harm may not (necessarily) come\n
 from intentional malice\, there are many situations\, and people\, who can
 \ninfluence and manipulate us into carrying out harmful acts as\nmathemati
 cians. It is important to be able to recognise and react to\nthese scenari
 os\, as we cannot always rely on external forces such as\nmanagement to gu
 ide what we do.\n\nFor more information about this series of discussions\,
