Algebraic number theory, when I was a graduate student in Oxford.
Well, sort of -- by that point I was pretty firmly on the CS side of the fence, and was just sitting in on the number theory classes out of interest. I probably could have grokked class field theory and L-functions if I had taken the time, but I was busy and it wasn't my research area...
