number theory, linear algebra, abstract algebra and real analysis

I want to learn number theory, linear algebra, abstract algebra and real analysis. Is there any good order to study these in - like does knowing one help in another?

You could really begin with any of them. Real analysis mainly stands alone. Knowledge of linear algebra, and in particular matrix algebra, gives useful examples for abstract algebra. Knowledge of abstract algebra (like Lagrange's theorem) helps you understand results like Fermat's Little Theorem. I think number theory would be the easiest to get into without previous background.
