Claude Schnéegans
Claude Schnéegans holds a degree in physics from the Sorbonne. After coming to Quebec to teach mathematics as a cooperant, he completed his bachelor's degree at Sir George Williams University in 1970 and joined the Université de Montréal, first as a student assistant to Professor Bill Armstrong, a specialist in artificial neural networks, before starting a master's degree in computer science under Olivier Lecarme. Claude Schnéegans' early passion for mathematical graphical curves, which later found its way into his animation work, led him to join the Computing Centre in September 1969 as an analyst-programmer, before becoming head of the “Applications” section, which included all the Centre's analyst-programmers, around 1975. In the mid-1970s, he also developed the very first computer word processing system at the Université de Montréal (COSTUM, for Composition et Sortie de texte UdeM), on which hundreds of theses and dissertations were written.
