The Poincaré map of mixed exterior algebra generalizes the Hodge star operator and it plays a central rôle in the proofs of many classical identities of linear algebra. The principal purpose of this paper is to derive a new formula for it. This formula is useful in circumstances when the definition is too implicit. Several applications are discussed.
