The shorthand term for mathematics is often "math" in the United States and "maths" in the United Kingdom. The term mathematics is a bit long and complex, much like the subject it refers to, so it's only natural that we try to abbreviate it! But just as a complex equation can be simplified, we've boiled down "mathematics" to just "math" or "maths", depending on which side of the pond you're on.
