Ethiek voor toegepaste wiskunde

This course is a study of broadly normative issues that arise in relation to applied mathematics. The following kinds of questions are examined: How can applied systems be built to promote, protect, preserve, and foster the pursuit of various values related to human wellbeing? What risks and uncertainties need to be accounted for in such systems? To what extent is it possible to empower individuals with applied systems while limiting the extent to which they can harm each other and themselves?
