Algebraic topology uses algebraic structures (like groups) to characterize and distinguish topological manifolds. So it is useful in any case where manifolds may look very different but in fact be identical. This is often other areas of mathematics or in theoretical physics. A subbranch of algebraic topology which is quite intuitive and which has many clear applications is knot theory. Knot theory is applicable in fields as diverse as string theory (physics) or protein synthesis (Biology).

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
