If it were "math's" it would mean a property of math itself as in "math's tendancy to irritate people".

...."maths". It ain't plural, why stick an s on it?

Geoff:
Because the basic word has an s at the end and ain't a plural.

Me (CJ):
In that case, shouldn't it be math's? :-)

Geoff:
But I expect that your feeling will be the mirror image of mine.

Me:
Exactly. It's all what we're used to.

Thanks for the reply.
