A topic is listed under every section its lesson covers, so a few appear twice. The codes beside each one are the specification points it covers in that section.
The sections and codes are Edexcel's; check the current specification when a mark depends on it. The Edexcel specification map lists every statement, with the lesson that teaches it.
