I'm with you HeadPirate.

Math and maths are both abbreviations of mathematics. The Americans just abbreviate it further so that even the 's' has been removed. I'm not sure if there are other instances of this abbreviation difference between US and British English?

Interwebs seem to suggest that math has been in written use since the 1840s and maths since around 1910. Both of these ways are correct, although you'd get some strange looks saying 'math' in the UK, and I'm sure that would be the same saying 'maths' in the US.
