For me, that's mathematics! As an undergraduate, our courses in pure mathematics were fairly strictly divided between Algebra and Analysis. The two answers we're seeing here seem to reflect that division well.

(There was also a greater division between pure and applied. And numerical methods sat somewhere nearby as a third area, closer to applied.)
