John Dee (1527–1608 or 1609) was an English mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, and alchemist, who is perhaps best known for his work in the fields of navigation and his interest in the occult. He served as an adviser to Queen Elizabeth I and was a prominent figure in the Elizabethan court. Dee's contributions to mathematics and navigation were significant, especially in relation to the development of navigational tools and practices during the Age of Exploration.
