Sydney Luxton Loney, M.A. (16 March 1860 – 16 May 1939) was a Professor of Mathematics at the Royal Holloway College, Egham, Surrey, and a fellow of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, England.[1] He authored a number of mathematics texts, some of which have been reprinted numerous times. He is known as an early influence on Srinivasa Ramanujan.[2]

Loney was educated at Maidstone Grammar School, in Tonbridge and at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, where he graduated with a B.A. as 3rd Wrangler in 1882.[3] His books on Plane Trigonometry and Coordinate Geometry are very popular among senior high school students in India who are preparing for engineering entrance exams like JEE Advanced.[4]
