"Maths" sounds British to me.

As a Physics major with a Math minor, it was always "Math" in the US.

From Thesaurus.com:

"The usual argument goes that mathematics is plural because it ends in an -s, so maths should be its abbreviation. The problem is that, while it ends in an –s, mathematics is a "mass noun" and usually takes a singular verb (e.g., Mathematics is my best subject)."

Both math and maths are short for the word mathematics. The word math can refer to either the discipline or subject of mathematics. It can also refer to mathematical procedures. In a sentence like She enjoys studying math and science, the word math refers to the subject or discipline of mathematics. In the sentence She insisted on seeing his math so she could understand his proposal, math refers to actual calculations.
