Adjoint The matrix formed by taking the transpose of the cofactor matrix of a given original matrix. The adjoint of matrix A is often written adj A. Note: This is in fact only one type of adjoint. More generally, an adjoint of a matrix is any mapping of a matrix which possesses certain properties. Consult a book on linear algebra for more information.
