Abstract
This paper gives a normal form for a linear mapping of a finite dimensional vector space over a field of characteristic 0 into itself, which yields a better description of its structure than the classical companion matrix. Finding this normal form does not use any factorization of the characteristic polynomial of the linear mapping and requires only a finite number of operations in the field to compute.
