Mathematics is both the language and the instrument that connects our abstract understanding with the physical world, thus knowledge of mathematics quickly translates to substantial knowledge and influence 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 damage and inflict harm.  In this talk I'll explain that yes, there is ethics 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.
