Teo Mora
Ferdinando 'Teo' Mora[a] is an Italian mathematician, and since 1990 until 2019 a professor of algebra at the University of Genoa.
Life and work
[edit]Mora's degree is in mathematics from the University of Genoa in 1974.[1] Mora's publications span forty years; his notable contributions in computer algebra are the tangent cone algorithm[2][3] and its extension of Buchberger theory of Gröbner bases and related algorithm earlier[4] to non-commutative polynomial rings[5] and more recently[6] to effective rings; less significant[7] the notion of Gröbner fan; marginal, with respect to the other authors, his contribution to the FGLM algorithm.
Mora is on the managing-editorial-board of the journal AAECC published by Springer,[8] and was also formerly an editor of the Bulletin of the Iranian Mathematical Society.[b]
He is the author of the tetralogy Solving Polynomial Equation Systems:
- Solving Polynomial Equation Systems I: The Kronecker-Duval Philosophy, on equations in one variable[9]
- Solving Polynomial Equation Systems II: Macaulay's paradigm and Gröbner technology, on equations in several variables[10][9]
- Solving Polynomial Equation Systems III: Algebraic Solving,
- Solving Polynomial Equation Systems IV: Buchberger Theory and Beyond, on the Buchberger algorithm
Personal life
[edit]Mora lives in Genoa.[11] Mora published a book trilogy in 1977-1978 (reprinted 2001-2003) called Storia del cinema dell'orrore on the history of horror films.[11] Italian television said in 2014 that the books are an "authoritative guide with in-depth detailed descriptions and analysis."[12]
