Robert Hues (1553 – 24 May 1632) was an English mathematician and geographer. He attended St. Mary Hall at Oxford, and graduated in 1578. Hues became interested in geography and mathematics, and studied navigation at a school set up by Walter Raleigh. During a trip to Newfoundland, he made observations which caused him to doubt the accepted published values for variations of the compass. Between 1586 and 1588, Hues travelled with Thomas Cavendish on a circumnavigation of the globe, performing astronomical observations and taking the latitudes of places they visited. Beginning in August 1591, Hues and Cavendish again set out on another circumnavigation of the globe. During the voyage, Hues made astronomical observations in the South Atlantic, and continued his observations of the variation

  • Ο Ρόμπερτ Χιουζ (Robert Hues, 1553 - 24 Μαΐου 1632) ήταν Άγγλος μαθηματικός και γεωγράφος. Φοίτησε στο St Mary Hall στην Οξφόρδη, από όπου αποφοίτησε το 1578. Ο Χιουζ άρχισε να ενδιαφέρεται για τη γεωγραφία και τα μαθηματικά, και σπούδασε πλοήγηση σε ένα σχολείο που δημιουργήθηκε από τον Σερ Ουόλτερ Ράλεϊ (Walter Raleigh). Κατά τη διάρκεια ενός ταξιδιού στη Νέα Γη, έκανε τις παρατηρήσεις που τον έκαναν να αμφιβάλει για τις αποδεκτές αξίες που δημοσιεύτηκαν για τη μαγνητική απόκλιση. (el)
  • Robert Hues (1553 – 24 de mayo de 1632) fue un matemático y geógrafo inglés. En 1578, se graduó del St Mary Hall en la Universidad de Oxford y puede haber viajado a Europa continental después. Hues se interesó en la geografía y la matemática y realizó observaciones de las variaciones de la brújula fuera de la costa de Terranova. Bien partió allá en un viaje de pesca o bien se unió a un viaje en 1585 a Virginia programado por Walter Raleigh y comandado por Richard Grenville que pasó por Terranova en el trayecto de regreso a Inglaterra.
