Abstract: In this review we discuss some recent developments related to one-loop N = 4 super Yang-Mills scattering amplitudes calculated to all orders in epsilon. It is often the case that one-loop gauge theory computations are carried out to order epsilon^0, since higher order in epsilon contributions vanish in the limit as epsilon goes to zero. We will show, however, that the higher order contributions are actually quite useful. In the context of maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills, we consider two examples in detail to illustrate our point. First we concentrate on computations with gluonic external states and argue that N = 4 supersymmetry implies a simple relation between all-orders-in-epsilon one-loop N = 4 super Yang-Mills amplitudes and the first and second stringy corrections to analogous tree-level superstring amplitudes. For our second example we will derive a new result for the all-orders-in-epsilon one-loop superamplitude for planar six-particle NMHV scattering, an object which allows one to easily obtain six-point NMHV amplitudes with arbitrary external states. We will then discuss the relevance of this computation to the evaluation of the ratio of the planar two-loop six-point NMHV superamplitude to the planar two-loop six-point MHV superamplitude, a quantity which is expected to have remarkable properties and has been the subject of much recent investigation.
