Concept dependency

That is a very good list. We will call it the ConceptList. Each item is a Concept.

Our next step is to create a fully connected dependency graph for learning each Concept in the ConceptList. In this step, for each Concept on this ConceptList, create a new list of other concepts on which it depends. If a Concept depends on a specific Concept that is not listed, then we will need to add it as a new Concept. This will help us determine the teaching order of the Concepts.

Return the new list as a CSV file using the following format:

The first column in the CSV file is a numeric concept ID you assigned in the list above. The second column is the concept name. The third column is a pipe-delimited list of the Concept IDs that the concept depends upon.

Make the first line be:

0,Fundamental Concept,

Check your results to make sure that all concepts are connected to at least one other concept.
