Discovered on 7 April 2000 by M. Tichy at Klet.
Georg Alexander Pick (1859-1942), Austrian mathematician who worked in Prague, is best known for his theorem for determining the area of lattice polygons. In 1911 he invited Albert Einstein to Prague and introduced him to the field of absolute differential calculus, which later helped Einstein to formulate general relativity.Naming citation (MPC batch dated 2017-03-12), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
