calculation of originals with the residual method
Explanation:
Apparently there are at least two residual methods: weighted (pondérée) and generalized minimal (généralisée à minima)

In mathematics, the generalized minimal residual method (usually abbreviated GMRES) is an iterative method for the numerical solution of a system of linear equations. The method approximates the solution by the vector in a Krylov subspace with minimal residual. The Arnoldi iteration is used to find this vector.
The GMRES method was developed by Yousef Saad and Martin H. Schultz in 1986.[1]

Asker: Thanks. Your explanation proved quite helpful in establishing a consensus on an apparently quite academic term (although it seems that math is classically academic). Thank you.

neutral  chris collister: Oh dear. I think your answer is incorrect. I have used (Cauchy's) method of residues/contour integration for complex integrals many times. Vide Google. Note that "residue" has different meanings according to context

Integration by the method of residues


Explanation:
The method of residues was discovered by Cauchy over 100 years ago, and involves integrating a complex (ie with real and imaginary parts) function along a closed path. Its simplicity is so startling I practically fell off my chair when I came across it over 30 years ago!

Calculs d'originaux is a French term for integration.

You are right that this term can be found only in French cirriculums of the 1st year maths. This is the lead to its context, integration. Two functions are involved, "primitive" and "derivative". Integration is a procedure of finding the primitive (which they mean by "original") once its derivative is given. In more conventional language, the primitive is the integral. I strongly believe that "calculation of originals" will never prompt the right idea (integration) to an English-speaking mathematician.

Regarding Google, I am old enough to remember that paper textbooks also contain some wisdom, not necessarily found in Google. If one has time one may try to find our who used what set of terms among the founders of this science (Newton, Leibnitz, Cauchy, etc.), poor guys who had to do without Google.

Asker: Your answer was quite good, but I went with the order in which they came in, to be mathematical about it.

neutral  Nihil Credo: Had you seen the phrase "calculs d'originaux" used with that meaning before? I had never heard of it, and it has barely any Google hit.
