had its roots in the work of two mathematicians‚ Paul Erdos and Alfred Renyi. Their work suggested that systems such as communications could be effectively modelled by connecting nodes with randomly placed links. Their simple approach revitalised graph theory and led to the emergence of the field of random networks. An important prediction of random network theory is regardless of the random placement of links most nodes will still have approximately the same number of links. In fact‚ in a random

Fry‚ who worked as a Fulbright Scholar in Uganda‚ also helped teachers to teach English as a Second Language (ESL) for a few years‚ from 1963 and onwards. During his early days‚ Fry developed readability tests based on graph [A Readability Formula That Saves Time‚ Journal of Reading (1968)].
