The author introduces a new algorithm for computing canonical forms of matrices over fields. In particular, primary rational, rational, and Jordan canonical forms are considered. The method is based on a decomposition of the vector space acted on by the given matrix into primary cyclic spaces. An efficient implementation is incorporated in the MAGMA computer algebra system.
