Abstract: As a fundamental course for STEM careers, Calculus I is an ideal place to introduce students to the ethical practice of mathematics. However, it can feel impossible to add extra material to an already-packed syllabus. This summer, as part of the Framing Mathematics as a Foundation for Ethical STEM NSF grant, we developed a series of problems which integrate ethical reasoning and Calculus I topics. We then piloted the materials in our respective Calculus I classes in the fall. In this talk, we will share a sample of the problems as well as our challenges and successes in implementing them.
