    I am not OP, but clearly maths is short for mathematics, plural. You study each mathematic (there is a bunch of them to learn) when you take a class on mathematics.

      Math and maths both mean mathematics, they are both correct, and the only difference between the two is regional prefrence. The original term was math, which has its origin in the mid 1800's. Maths is an alternative form of math created the early 1900's. But both are currently valid and interchangeable.

          You're full of shit and you know it! That's not even English and I am damned sure that Math is Math, not it's own fucking foreign language!
