Nov 21, 2014This is the first time I have ever see the word math as a plural. Math is a shortened version of the word mathematics which I doubt if I have ever seen it as the singular, mathematic except when it is used as an adjective. English is a strange language.تفاعلرد - MA
Nov 21, 2014Mathandmathsare equally acceptable abbreviations ofmathematics. The only difference is thatmathis preferred in the U.S. and Canada, andmathsis preferred in the U.K., Australia, and most other English-speaking areas of the world.تفاعلرد - JA
Nov 21, 2014yes, in the u.s. when referring to math classes or courses we pluralize the word class or course. english may be a strange language with three same words with different spellings (their,there.they're/ to,two,too) and amazingly there are quite a few people who have trouble with that.

well, i teach math(s) and i do love it. i was in scotland for three months several years ago and was able to sit in on some university classes in maths and really enjoyed going back to learn in the classroom after teaching for 20+ years. so, yes, we do call it math in the US but it was called maths in the UK. if nothing else, i have made a career out of maths and it has served me well for almost 40 years now. certainly i love it.

Wow didn't really expect that. :P French is my main language, and so I'm just used to saying "maths". I just had classes about statistic a while ago which was fun, and another in which we had to use matrices. I miss my math classes...تفاعلرد - LA

[/quote]Don't be an idiot. He's already stated that French is his first language. He was asking a question to everyone, not stating that everyone likes math.

Anyway. But indeed, people don't like maths, but if there are math teachers here I'd love to chat :Dتفاعلرد - TH
Nov 22, 2014[quote]I'm not particularly a pro at maths but I do like maths. I kind of miss my maths homeworks and all. Does anyone else like maths, and/or is willing to chat about it? I might not know everything you do but I love to learn :D

i went with the language route because i was much better at english and writing classes than math. i tried, but just had a difficult time trying to understand most math classes.
