Friedrich Wilhelm Franz Meyer (1856–1934) was a German mathematician and one of the main editors of the Encyclopädie der Mathematischen Wissenschaften.

Meyer studied in the universities of Leipzig and Munich.

He studied further in Berlin under Weierstrass, Kummer and Kronecker.

[1] The wide research work of Meyer (more than 130 papers) is centred basically on geometry and, specifically, on invariant theory.

Meyer was directly in charge to edit the geometry volumes.
