This is the wrong place for this debate, but "math" is an abbreviation of "mathematics". Why would you take the end of a word you are abbreviating and add it to your abbreviation? I'll add that "mathematics" is a singular noun.
- DonHopkins 9y agoAll of mathematics is connected at the root, so there is only one math.
- tomjakubowski 9y agoI've long preferred "math's", which was actually in common use at some point in the 19th century. It's a contraction, like "bo's'n" :-).
