In this paper,we discuss the problem about description and calculation of reliability based on minimal path and minimal cutset for the class of complex system.We introduce the minimal path matrix and minimal cutset matrix,define vector operations,exactly expressive of reliability of the complex system by those of the sub-system,and give it's calculation.The analytic expression is very important and is an efficent tool for researching problems about reliability of complex systems.
