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

Professor Dana Randall of Computer Science delivered the American Mathematical Society's 2009 Arnold Ross Lecture, Domino Tilings of the Chessboard: An Introduction to Sampling and Counting, Oct. 29 at the National Science Center's Fort Discovery in Augusta, Ga. Following her lecture, many high school students in attendance tested their math knowledge with a mock game show, Who Wants to Be a Mathematician? that paid out real cash prizes.
