I understand analysis as breaking down a particular system or structure into its various parts and then examining those parts to see how they relate to each other. The puzzle that we did in class helped me to understand the term analysis better. I saw that it was much more than just testing a system, but rather, one has to figure out a way to break the system into parts and define those parts by giving identities and properties to it. In doing so, one can determine how those particular parts relate to one another. How they help or hurt each other. After breaking the parts down and seeing their relationships, it can be looked at as a whole system again, but this time with better understanding.
