That's not so cut-and-dried: math and maths mean the same, but the US version is slightly more sensible. "Mathematics" is plural (because it covers multiple disciplines geometry, calculus, and so forth) but it takes a singular noun: "Mathematics is his best subject" rather than "Mathematics are his best subject" so it's irregular for it's abbreviated version to append the "s".

In general, I'm getting used to the US version, and since there are more of them than us here (and many people learn US English from movies and TV anyway) internationalization means I'll use the more logical version here.
