Is. "Maths" is not the plural of "math"; it's a different abbreviation of "mathematics". Many words end in s without being plural.

Depends. It's "Maths" in the UK, and "Math" on the other side of the pond (or should I say elsewhere?).

That's what Paul is saying - unless for some odd reason you're pluralising the American word "math". If you're using the UK word "maths", it is a singular noun.
Skewbrow:
Sorry, May, Paul. I've just heard this maths vs. math discussion too many times, and jumped to a conclusion.

Lemme guess, you're getting a certificate error. I'm using a free certificate issued by CACert. Go to cacert.org, click on "Root Certificates" and install the Class 1 and Class 3 Certificate (PEM is usually the best option). Then the message should disappear.
Or you could just ignore the message.
Is it cold in here?:

How far are you along, Ankh? Because I seem to remember this being your starting year, and abstract algebra the first semestre seems a bit crazy. Are you taking pure maths?
