Indeed. My university had us do linear algebra (and differential calculus) before data structures. Of five courses in the first semester, three were math (the third was discrete mathematics), the programming course were just the basics - intro to programming, and data processing. The second semester is where things got "serious". Algorithms in the third semester could be brutal at times. :)

Haha. Yeah. I was in Electronics and our teacher got brutal right at second semester because we had to study microcontroller interfacing right in second year.
