It is "Math" and not "Maths"

[–] phlegmy 1 points 2 days ago

I think it's context dependent.

The field is called mathematics, but I see math as a short form of mathematic or mathematical.

Calling something a 'math' question or a 'maths' question both make sense. But something like "I hate math" sounds like you hate a singular mathematic, which sounds weirder to me than "I hate maths" (the field).
