On the July 5th, 2000 a memorial stone will be unveiled, honering Ludolph
van Ceulen.
The stone will be placed in the Pieterskerk (St. Pieter's Church) in
Leiden (Netherlands) at the some spot as his lost gravestone.
On the memorial stone Ludolph's 35 decimal digits of Pi will be engraved.
In the afternoon and in the evening Pieter Borwein will give the Beeger
lecture 2000 at the Leiden University (it's on Pi).
The reveiling of the memory stone is an activity of the Wiskundig
Genootschap (Dutch Mathematic Society) in connection with WMY2000.
