Yeah, but how big are your tits?

Wouldn't you like to know!

[blinkilite]

Maths is short ofr mathematics.

is that a british slang thing? cuz over here in the states it's only MATH, with no s. calling it "maths" is irritating.

[happy_loss]

Yeah, but how big are your tits?

Scouser, you're a complete pig!

Now answer his question!

[black francis]

you did this on purpose didn't you jack? but no its just the way it is. if you search the internet thing on 'math vs maths' you'll find about 5 trillion pages discussing this - and not all of them as polite as it gets on this forum either. just the way the language has evolved but its not slang, which might imply the american version is right and, well, we couldn't have that could we? Whats also irritating is how americans call their language english when its so obviously not - you have your own word for taps and all sorts of stuff, you even call tights pantie-hose which is just weird and well, far too many syllables when you want the missus to get them off quick. why dont you just call it american? here we go I'm goig to be wrong now aren't I?

thought i'd do this before hipster gets in which his copy and paste, from etymology online (http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?l=m&p=7)

mathematic
c.1380 as singular, replaced by early 17c. by mathematics (1581), from L. mathematica (pl.), from Gk. mathematike tekhne "mathematical science," fem. sing. of mathematikos (adj.) "relating to mathematics, scientific," from mathema (gen. mathematos) "science, knowledge, mathematical knowledge," related to manthanein "to learn," from PIE base *mn-/*men-/*mon- "to think, have one's mind aroused" (cf. Gk. menthere "to care," Lith. mandras "wide-awake," O.C.S. madru "wise, sage," Goth. mundonsis "to look at," Ger. munter "awake, lively"). Mathematics (pl.) originally denoted the mathematical sciences collectively, including geometry, astronomy, optics. Math is the Amer.Eng. shortening, attested from 1890; the British preference, maths is attested from 1911.

all greek to me, hahahaha

TO THINK, HAVE ONE'S MIND AROUSED = MATHS

[In The Margins]

From urbandictionary.com

Maths

The correct form of the Americanism "Math", as a contraction of mathematics (a contraction featuring at least the first and last letter of the two words). The most beautiful thing ever observed by mankind; the physics of bottle caps. I only wish the real universe was as beautiful as the Cartesian plane. People usually claim it has no use because they are too ignorant/stupid to understand it. Uses include everything not involving the study of literature. The ONLY pure science.
I love maths!

I'm sure looking forward to Mr Black's maths class

Zero point nine repeater equals one. That’s some cool maths
