Carl-E:
If the extra letter is "i", then no.

I'm guessing you're talking about the s? Maths makes more sense than math, since you never see the singular form of "mathematics" used, why would it be singular in the shortened word?
Carl-E:
Generally, UK and former colonies use "maths", while US (and Canada, it rubs off) use "math"
Lines:
Math already seems plural? Like I'm never thinking singularly when I think about math. When I think singularly, I call it by what type of math it is, like algebra, calculus, addition, etc.
LTK:
Mathematics is an uncountable noun, like physics. You can't pluralize it, so abbreviating it to math seems more sensible.
