The N=4 Super Yang-Mills theory is believed to be the first example of an integrable gauge quantum field theory in 4 space-time dimensions. In recent years, it was discovered that there are deep connections relating scattering amplitudes in this theory to concepts in modern geometry and number theory. I show that by focusing on the high-energy limit, it is possible to combine the insight from integrability and modern mathematics to obtain results for all scattering amplitudes in this limit at any order in perturbation theory.
