Math is the plural of mathematics.

Not if you’re British it isn’t.

Not if you’re British it isn’t.

For a field centered on numbers, math seems pretty confused about its pluralization. Americans and Canadians tend to say math while Brits and Australians opt for maths. In defense of our star-spangled convention, “math” is more consistent with the way English speakers abbreviate disciplines like economics (econ) and linguistics (ling). Still, both versions are correct, if complicated by the fact that while mathematics sounds plural, it may actually be singular.

It is American English and appears in most good dictionaries and some bad ones....as does maths. Grammar experts seem to fall 50:50 on this so I guess we call it a 0-0 bore draw.
