A graph is simple if it has no parallel edges or loops. In recent years, graph theory has established itself as an important mathematical tool in a wide variety of subjects, ranging from operational research and chemistry to genetics and linguistics, and from electrical engineering and geography to sociology and architecture. We also venture into knot theory in general 3dimensional manifolds. It is a quantitative measure of the number of linearly independent paths through a programs source code. In graph theory, a branch of mathematics, the circuit rank, cyclomatic number, cycle rank, or nullity of an undirected graph is the minimum number of edges that must be removed from the graph to break all its cycles, making it into a tree or forest. It is equivalent to the minimal number of independent cycles in the graph minimal cycle basis.
