About SL Loney

SL Loney was a professor and author of innumerable books pertaining to Mathematics

Some of his popular academic books include, Classic Texts Series: Plane Trigonometry (Part - 1), Plane Trigonometry Part – 2, Plane Trigonometry Part-1, An Elementary Treatise on Statics, Dynamics Of A Particle And Of Rigid Bodies, and Classic Texts Series: The Elements of Statics and Dynamics (Part - 1).

Sidney Luxton Loney was born in 1860, at Devon, UK and graduated with a B.A. degree from Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, where he also obtained his M.A. Degree and fellowship later. He worked as a professor in Mathematics at the University Of London. His 1897 book The Elements Of Statics And Dynamics is considered a one-of-its-kind reference book pertaining to this particular subject, and is studied in almost all universities in South India. It is believed that Loney’s writings influenced Indian scholar and mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan.
