Eduard Weyr (22 June 1852 – 23 July 1903) was a Czechmathematician. Today he is chiefly remembered as the discoverer of a certain canonical form for square matrices over algebraically closed fields. Weyr presented this form briefly in a paper published in 1885. He followed it up with a more elaborate treatment in a paper published in 1890. This particular canonical form has been named as the Weyr canonical form in a paper by Shapiro published in The American Mathematical Monthly in 1999. Previously, this form has been variously called as ''modified Jordan form'', ''reordered Jordan form'', ''second Jordan form'', and ''H-form''.
