Well, not quite...
You see, "mathematics" is a study - a discipline - a singular item.
You study mathematics, just like you'd study physics (or medicine, or history) - they're all singular.
By saying "maths" you're implying plurality where none exists. The original noun is singular, and therefore the correct abbreviation should also be singluar--i.e., "math"
