Inhaltsangabe

This volume explores the ethical dimensions of mathematics as experienced and articulated by doctoral students in mathematics and the sciences. As society becomes increasingly reliant on mathematical models, algorithms, and data, the ethical implications of how mathematics is used — and misused — are gaining urgency. Yet most scientists and mathematicians receive little formal training in ethical reflection. Responding to this gap, this collection presents a series of thoughtful and accessible essays written by students taking a mandatory course on the theory of science and ethics. The contributions span topics such as scientific responsibility, the ethics of mathematical modeling, decolonization of research, automation, and the moral obligations of mathematicians. Framed by an expert introduction and concluding analysis, the essays provide a rare and engaging entry point into a field where literature for students is still scarce.
