Introduction

A system, or set of rules, is vital for anything in which human beings are involved. When driving a car, you have "rules of the road;" when playing a sport, there are "rules of the game." Rules make life simpler and more pleasant by removing many chances for misunderstanding and by creating order and mutual respect.
