  • Johannes "Jan" L. A. van de Snepscheut (12 Sep 1953 in Oosterhout, The Netherlands - 23 Feb 1994) was a computer scientist and educator. At his untimely death he was the executive officer of the computer science department at the California Institute of Technology. He died after he, apparently armed with an ax, bludgeoned his wife and was later found dead in the remains of a bedroom of his one-story house. His students remembered him as always (... ) calm and good-humored in class. No one ever produced an explanation for the tragic course of events. His mother revealed that as a teenager he had a schizophrenic breakdown. At the time he died he was writing an editor for theorem proving called "Proxac". Two years after his death this fictional story appeared in Wired magazine. The story was based loosely on the events surrounding his death.
  • Johannes Lambertus Adriana (in vakkringen bekend als Jan L. A. ) van de Snepscheut was een Nederlands informaticus.
