THE
PROJECT
The
Kiela, a game of African origin, made traditionally
with small stones in holes opened in the soil
or in a board, is considered the oldest game of
strategy of the world.
The
Kiela name comes from the kimbundu language (Angola)
and means puzzle. The Kiela game is known in some
parts of the globe, with great incidence in the
African continent, for a diversity of names, according
to the language of the region, as it is evident
on chapter 1 of the book "Kiela", of
the authorship of Bernardo Campos, in which it
also displays the history, the nature of social
and cultural elements and a set of mathematical
expressions that developed on the course of the
investigation work about Kiela, thus giving its
contribute for the enrichment of mathematical
sciences.
Along
his work about Kiela, the engineer Bernardo campos,
of Angolan nationality, went more far and created
an informatics program for the practice of the
game, with the objective to promote its spreading
al over the world. With effect, this task becomes,
today, more easyas it can be used, as vehicles,
to the most modern technologies of information,
namely the Internet, to get the cited program.
