So why is "maths" plural? It's sure as hell not countable. What is "a math"?
At least "mathematic" makes sense—you can deconstruct the morphology to understand this is "a lesson", i.e. the gerund of "to learn". It's also the natural english adjectival form of the greek word.
"maths" is just weird. You might as well use "magicks".
