Patrizia M. Gianni (born 1952)[1] is an Italian mathematician specializing in computer algebra. She is known for her early research on Gröbner bases including her discovery of the FGLM algorithm for changing monomial orderings in Gröbner bases,[2] and for her development of the components of the Axiom computer algebra system concerning polynomials and rational functions.[3]
Gianni is a professor of algebra in the mathematics department of the University of Pisa.[4] She earned a laurea from the University of Pisa,[3] and has worked for IBM Research as well as for the University of Pisa.[5]
at the Gröbner basis workshop held at Cornell University in October 1988 ... Patrizia Gianni and Daniel Lazard independently presented the FGLM algorithm
