👉 In mathematics, a naulation is a special case of a generalization of the concept of a logarithm. Naulation theory is an area of study in number theory and algebraic geometry that deals with certain properties of numbers related to their roots. Naulation theory was introduced by mathematician Paul Dirac in 1932 as part of his work on the theory of quaternions. It is a generalization of the concept of logarithm, where instead of using the number e as
