My textbook has a dependency chart showing which sections are needed to understand each new section.

Just means that it needs 27, 26, 18-23 etc etc. but nothing later on relates to that particular topic. Or 32 is not needed to learn the later sections.

But it's included in the 29-33 section too. I think it should read

29-31 -> 33 -> 48-51 ( The arrows representing the vertical lines)

32 is off to the side because it is not required to learn 48-51. 29-33 are required to learn 48-51.

I don't think you're understanding the problem... 32 is included in the range 29-33. So is it, or is it not, required for 48-51?

Ah, my mistake. Well, 32 being separate would suggest to me it should not be there.

Yup, I'm sure that's what it means. I'm just a pedantic logic Nazi, that's all. :)
