Russian term or phrase: независимыe слагаемыe
I know this can be translated literally as "independent summands". But this phrase does not yield a reassuring number of Google hits and most of the references seem to be to Russian sources.
Does anyone happen to know what the standard English is?

Many thanks in advance.
