    That may be, but Math still encompasses all Math so there’s no need to pluralize it.

      The discipline is “mathematics.” It’s really not unreasonable that in some parts of the world, it got shortened to maths.

        And the other error present is the incorrect pluralisation. Mathematica means the entire area or domain of knowledge, while mathematics sounds like several lines of thinking, which is weird when we use it as a singular. Maths doesn’t refer to several kinds of math, and that’s confusing.
