Abstract
For barely a decade now the Web graph (the network formed by Web pages and their hyperlinks) has been the focus of scientific study. In that short a time, this study has made a significant impact on research in physics, computer science and mathematics. It has focussed the attention of the scientific community on all the different kinds of networks that have arisen through technology and human activity; some speak of a “new science of networks”. It has brought the computational and deductive power of computer science to the study of the complex social networks formed by inter-human relationships. And, it has given birth to new branches of research in different areas of mathematics, most notably graph theory and probability.
