What I recall is that the first course of Modern Algebra (Group Theory) 
didn't really use much of anything from Linear Algebra, but the second 
course did. Your university may vary...

Basically, there's not much in a math degree curriculum that requires 
Linear Algebra to be taught first. I could very well see one that teaches 
Modern Algebra first, and it wouldn't be a scandal to me. There are 
probably universities that do, somewhere -- at least if they are as 
experimental as they are in compsci... some universities teach computer 
programming in quite wild ways.

So, what's your point about unveiled mysteries?
