1933Harper's Mag. CLXVII. 573 In each of these two groups of phenomena we have found a constant element, the sentiment out of which both the actions and the explanations rise. The expression of such a sentiment is what Pareto calls a ‘Residue’. 1935Bongiorno & Livingston tr. Pareto's Mind & Society II. vi. 508 It might perhaps be advisable to give word-names to the things we have been calling a, b, and c... Suppose we call the things a, residues, the things b, derivations, and the things c, derivatives. Ibid. 509 Residues correspond to certain instincts in human beings, and for that reason they are usually wanting in definiteness, in exact delimitation. 1935L. J. Henderson Pareto's Gen.

The ‘derivations’, or thoughts and beliefs which, objectively speaking, derive from the residues, but which subjectively appear to the people who harbour them as ‘their ideas’, ‘their convictions’, ‘their philosophies’. 1966S. E. Finer V. Pareto: Sociol. Writings 38 Thus, if you strip from the theory its variable part you are left with a residuum. This is the constant element and Pareto therefore calls it a residue. 2. Law. That which remains of an estate after all charges, debts, and bequests have been paid.

c1430Art Nombryng 17 Thow shalt fynde the same figures that thow haddest before; And so that nought be the residue. And yf thow have any residue [etc.]. 1570Billingsley Euclid v. prop. 19. 146 If the whole be to the whole, as the part taken away is to the part taken away: then shall the residue be vnto the residue, as the whole is to the whole. 1636Mellis Recorde's Gr. Artes 154 From the last subtract the first, and the residue diuide by a number lesse by 1, then the number of the places. b. Number Theory. A remainder left when a given number is divided into some integer; also, a number congruent to a given number modulo a third number; quadratic residue, cubic, etc., residue, a remainder left when a given number is divided into the square, cube, etc., of some integer; residue class, the class of integers congruent to one another modulo a given number (e.g. 2, 5, 8, 11, etc., are members of a residue class modulo 3).
1860Rep. Brit. Assoc. Adv. Sci. 1859 i. 231 The set of numbers 0, 1, 2{ddd}P - 1 (or any set of P numbers respectively congruous for the modulus P to those numbers) is termed a complete system of residues for the modulus P. 1899Q. Jrnl. Math. XXX. 363 The same representation of the coefficients also determines the residue when the coefficient is not a multiple of the modulus. 1939Uspensky & Heaslet Elem. Number Theory vi. 134 Of two numbers congruent for the modulus m, each is called a ‘residue’ of the other modulus m. Ibid. x. 270 A number a is said to be a quadratic residue of another number m if the congruence x2 = a (mod m) can be satisfied by some integer x. 1948O. Ore Number Theory & its Hist. ix. 214 Since these are the numbers that correspond to the same remainder r when divided by m, we say that they form a residue class (mod m). There are m residue classes (mod m). 1963W. W. R. Ball Math. Recreations & Ess. (ed. 12) ii. 60 There is an arithmetic of residues, closely analogous to the arithmetic of ordinary numbers. 1966Ogilvy & Anderson Excursions in Number Theory iv. 43 If we identify every integer, positive, negative, or zero, with its remainder modulo m, we thus have all the integers partitioned into congruence classes, or residue classes, modulo m. 1977Sci. Amer. July 127/2 Gauss used complex numbers of the form a + bi..to formulate and prove a version of the law of quadratic reciprocity for biquadratic residues. The number k is said to be a biquadratic residue of another number m if k is congruent modulo m to the fourth power of an integer. Thus the biquadratic residues of 10 are 0, 1, 5 and 6. c.

Dict. 334/1 If f(z) is an analytic function of the complex variable z in the ‘deleted’ neighbourhood consisting of all z satisfying 0 0{vb} 0 is 1 / 2πi ∫C f(z)dz , where C is a simple closed rectifiable curve about z0 in the ‘deleted’ neighbourhood. The value of the residue is..the coefficient of (z - z0)-1 in the Laurent expansion of f(z) about z0. 1973Rauch & Lebowitz Elliptic Functions, Theta Functions, & Riemann Surfaces i. 19 A differential of the first kind is one whose set of Laurent expansions has no poles. Differentials of the second kind have poles but with zero residue at each pole while differentials of the third kind allow poles with non-vanishing residues. 4. = residuum 3. Also attrib.
