There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title: The Knuth Prize Lecture: The Stories Behind the Results
Abstract:
I will present a number of stories about some results that I think highlight how results get proved and how they do not. These will span problems from almost all areas of theory, and will include both successes and failures. I hope that beyond the actual results you will enjoy and hopefully profit from the stories.
