In my mathematics research, I am currently working on problems in computational geometry and topology. The work I am doing is largely algorithmics. Moreover, to obtain new topological results, new data structures had to be invented. This does not mean that algorithmics is a branch of topology. Nor does it mean that data structures is a branch of topology. And it would certainly be very strange for a computer scientist to find all their material on algorithms and data structures filed under "Geometry and Topology".
