Ooh! Perfect opportunity to ask a question I’ve definitely not spent an inordinate amount of time wondering about without bothering to look for an answer!

Is maths in British English plural? Like, should that be “the maths say”?

[matteason]

It's always "maths" not "math" but we'd always say "the maths says" and I've never questioned it until right now

[timthorn]

It's still singular. Maths is just a contraction of mathematics, but without an apostrophe.

Thanks! Now I have more questions, but they're better. This is good progress.

Just like "the science says" (but unlike "the English say" ;) ).

[chupasaurus]

Mathematics is uncountable (:

And dense!
