Adjugate Matrix: Also known as
Some sources refer to the adjugate matrix of $\mathbf A$ as the adjoint matrix of $\mathbf A$.
The use of adjugate may be less common than that of adjoint.
However, as adjoint matrix is also used for the Hermitian conjugate, to avoid ambiguity it is recommended that it not be used.
