We present data with an accuracy of 1 part in 10/sup 4/ for the equation of state of the classical hard-disk fluid obtained by a Monte Carlo--molecular-dynamics method for a system of as many as 5822 particles when tau = rho/sub 0//rho ranges from tau = 30 to 1.4, where rho/sub 0/ is the value of the number density rho for closest packing. The data are in excellent agreement with those obtained using a Levin approximant applied to the first six terms of the virial series.
