    The basic goal of algebraic topology is to find algebraic invariants that classify topological spaces up to homeomorphism, although most usually classify up to homotopy (homeomorphism being a special case of homotopy).

    Although algebraic topology primarily uses algebra to study topological problems, using topology to solve algebraic problems is sometimes also possible.
