SD206 - Guide to the Six Books
The chart below is an attempt to show how different parts of the course
fit together.

The 'crossword' is based mainly on cross-references made in Chapters
of Books 3 - 6, to material in Chapters of Books 1 and 2. For example,
if we take Book 1, Chapter 3 (Genes) and follow the row across the page,
we can see that it has little bearing on Books 3 or 5, but features prominently
in Books 4 and 6. But whilst the chart provides some information about
what material in Books 1 and 2 crops up later, it does not convey the actual
'importance'. For example, in some cases the Book 1 or 2 material is important
for understanding some later points (e.g. Book 5 leans quite heavily on
Book 1 Chapter 7), but in other cases the reference is merely a passing
comment. I have tried to convey importance to some extent by the colour
of the shading, shown in the Key.
I must stress that this chart is my personal interpretation (with grateful
thanks to a colleague, Robin Orchardson) and it is not an 'official' plan
of the course. It is provided as a general guidance to what parts of Books
1 and 2 are likely to be relevant later on; the degree of relevance is
roughly indicated by the colour of the shading. You do not have to be 100%
'on top' of these chapters before you proceed, but you can see where you
might find it helpful to go back to Book 1 or 2 to check up on points.
Also, the chart does not show how the chapters of Books 3 - 6 inter-relate.
As a very simple guide to the 'later relevance' of a chapter, count the
shaded squares along its row. You will see that some chapters are rarely
encountered again (e.g. Book 1, Chapters 6 and 7). In contrast, the material
in Chapters 4 and 8 of Book 2 crops up repeatedly. Note that 'later relevance'
does NOT necessarily indicate 'importance' or likelihood of examination
questions!
