In linear algebra, the cofactor (sometimes called adjunct) describes a particular construction that is useful for calculating both the determinant and inverse of square matrices. Specifically the cofactor of the entry of a matrix, also known as the 'cofactor of that matrix', is the signed minor of that entry.
