As an American who doesn't say "maths", my assumption is that algebra is one math, geometry is another, calculus is one, discrete math is one, etc. Together, they are "the maths."

Probably a "just so" definition to satisfy my American ears. I bet they'd say that any one of those is still "maths" by itself.
