Using the mathematics in ditaola to promote a culture of reading and research in Botswana

A while ago I announced that I was fortunate enough to realise that our traditional practice of ditaola uses very advanced mathematics.

I have been working hard to use the mathematics in ditaola for some good. I worked with the editors of the US based Journal of Math and Culture to describe the mathematics in ditaola. You can read the description in the JMC Newsletter 7.1 on page 24 at http://nasgem.rpi.edu/.

The mathematics in ditaola has also been brought to the attention of experts in coding and computer science. The Editor-in-Chief of the Computer Journal, a key Computer Science journal in Britain said the code in ditaola is very interesting. He said it is similar to the mathematical model of  how the DNA code can code for proteins. I was very happy to have a coding expert acknowledge the code.
