摘要

这篇文章描述了一门关于数学伦理的一学分课程，该课程每周开一次，每次一小时，讨论密码学、算法、大数据以及数学在公共生活中的作用。我提供的轶事证据表明，即使是一门对学生和教师来说时间相对较少的课程，也会对学生对数学伦理的理解和兴趣产生重大影响。我还收集推荐和资源，希望鼓励其他人考虑教授这门课程。

A Mini-seminar: Teaching Ethics in Mathematics in an Hour a Week

This article describes a one-credit class on ethics in mathematics, which met once a week for an hour and discussed topics in cryptography, algorithms, and big data, and the role of mathematics in public life. I offer anecdotal evidence that even a course with relatively little time commitment for both students and faculty can have a significant impact on students’ understanding of and interest in ethics in mathematics. I also collect recommendations and resources in the hopes of encouraging others to consider teaching such a course.
