I studied it at the University, it was introduced after Pappo's theorem and other theorem demonstrated using Descriptive Feometry most of all.

On the other end it was a Projective Geometry course and at the end we used a lot the General Linear Group, in particular 4x4 matrices for bilinear forms, so it was like warming up with Geometry to arrive to the Algebra tools.
