DESCRIPTION:Mathematicians sit at the heart of technological advancement a
 nd industrial progress. Mathematics is a universal tool. It can be used fo
 r good\, and it can be used for harm. To begin\, we look at where harmful 
 situations may arise\, and what exactly we as mathematicians are doing to 
 contribute to that harm. Though this harm may not (necessarily) come from 
 intentional malice\, there are many situations\, and people\, who can infl
 uence and manipulate us into carrying out harmful acts as mathematicians. 
 It is important to be able to recognise and react to these scenarios\, as 
 we cannot always rely on external forces such as management to guide what 
 we do. \n\nThis talk is part 1 of the seminar series _Ethics in Mathematic
 s_ hosted by the Cambridge University Ethics in Mathematics Society over M
 ichaelmas. The event will consist of an interactive lecture followed by a 
 discussion session.
