Arthur Ernest Jolliffe (23 January 1871 – 17 March 1944) was a British mathematician.
His father, who was a house painter, died just after Arthur's fifth birthday, and his mother went out to service: in 1881 when she was aged 50 she was working for a lady at 11 Warnborough Road in north Oxford, and Arthur lived with her there.
For many years he was an external examiner in mathematical physics for the National University of Ireland (NUI).
[1] However, one of his papers, on uniform convergence of trigonometric series, remains well cited.
Jolliffe died on 17 March 1944 in Oxford,[1] and was buried in St Sepulchre's Cemetery, Walton Street.
