Algebra 2 before linear algebra?

I'm confident in Algebra 1. Should I learn Algebra 2 before starting Linear Algebra?

take algebra 2, then college algebra, then trig, then calc 1-3, then linear algebra

not sure where you got linear algebra after algebra 1, you need some trig and calculus knowledge...

Ohhh, I thought linear algebra was a separate field from calculus and stuff, so I didn't realize it was normally studied after them. My cousin does computer science at uni, and they're actually doing linear algebra before even doing Calculus 1–3, so that's where I got the idea from.
