Everything counts: Scholarship honors math-lover’s legacy

Lee Ann Murray and Bill

This year’s Pi Day had extra significance at Illinois State, not just because the year allowed the day to be celebrated to its fourth decimal place (3/14/15), but because it marked the awarding of the first two Lee Ann Murray Everything Counts Scholarships.

Pi Day is Saturday, March 14, when the calendar reads 3/14/15, which is the estimate for the number Pi at 3.1415. The actuarial science sequence at Illinois State University will celebrate the day by awarding a scholarship to honor an alumna who died too young.
