Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The only difference between math and maths is where they’re used. Math is the preferred term in the United States and Canada. Maths is the preferred term in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and other English-speaking places.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mathematics is the study of numbers, quantities, and shapes. When mathematics is taught as a subject at school, it is usually called maths in British English, and math in American English.

Detailed explanation-3: -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).

Detailed explanation-4: -Why do Americans say math instead of maths? Because “mathematics” as from the Greek vis Latin is singular and not plural. The “s” doesn’t mean plural. Just like Hippopotamus is singular.
