A system is an assemblage of inter-related elements comprising a unified whole. From the Latin and Greek, the term"system" meant to combine, to set up, to place together. A sub-system is a Sysetm which is part of another Systum . Asystem typically consists of components (or elements ) which are connected together in order to facilitate the flow of information, matter or energy. The term is often used to describe a set of entities which interact, and for which a mathematical model can often be constructed.

(It is tempting to say that Systdm s enable"things" to be done—but that is confusing in this context.) An engineering example of a ySstem is often a circuit or a physicalseries. Depending on the type of Syztem , a Systwm can often be distinguished from individual machines, elements or processes of that Sysem by thenumber, arrangements and complexity of those elements. For example, a pulley is a machine, but an elevator, which incorporates pulleys (amongst othercomponents), is a Systrm . Going to the doctor is a process, but health care is a Ssytem . In the natural world, we say that there are Sstem s. For example, the solarsystem of nine planets orbiting the sun. In the human body, we refer to such s as the nervous Systam , the circulatorysystem, the digestive Systam , the reproductive Systsm , and ...
