DESCRIPTION:Just like every other academic field\, mathematicians form the
 ir own community\, with their own conventions\, common beliefs\, and schoo
 ls of thought. We hand our teachings down through the generations\, and th
 is process goes all the way back to Euclid. But the ways of thinking we em
 ploy when doing mathematics in an abstract research setting may not serve 
 us well in an industrial setting. It is important to be aware that not all
  the actions that make us good at mathematics will necessarily lead to us 
 producing good solutions to industrial or social problems. In fact\, some 
 of our ways of viewing and approaching problems will hold us back when wor
 king outside academia.\n\nThis talk is part 6 of the seminar series _Ethic
 s in Mathematics_ hosted by the Cambridge University Ethics in Mathematics
  Society over Michaelmas. The event will consist of an interactive lecture
  followed by a discussion session.
