Adjoint versus classical adjoint/any relation?

[arthurhenry]

is there relation between the adjoint (as in conjugate transpose) and the adjoint of a matrix(each entry replaced by the its cofactor and one takes the transpose of the resulting matrix)
Thank you

Not that I know of.

Adjoint meaning each entry replaced by the its cofactor and one takes the transpose of the resulting matrix is normally now called adjugate to avoid confusion.

Adjoint meaning complex conjugate and transpose of a matrix can be hugely generalised and naturally appears anytime you have maps on a linear space.
