[en] One trouble felt in the determination of the astronomical constants consists in the resolution of the normal equations when the number of unknowns is high but it’s easy to verify its accuracy. It isn’t the same concerning the unknowns elimination, the verification becomes harder as we make progress. The author thus tried to replace the elimination process by an easier one. [fr] Un ennui éprouvé dans la détermination des constantes astronomiques consiste dans la résolution des équations normales lorsque le nombre d’inconnues est considérable mais il est aisé d’en vérifier l’exactitude. Il n’en est pas de même quant à l’élimination des inconnues, la vérification devient de plus en plus pénible à mesure qu’on avance. L’auteur a donc cherché à remplacer le procédé d’élimination par un autre plus simple.
