The American version of English focuses on simplifying the language as much as possible, both in terms of spelling (color vs colour) and in pronunciation (math vs maths). The American version is leading the way in the development of modern English.

Read ''Made in America' by Bill Bryson......It will tell you the complete history of the american language. This book is the most surprising and informative tome ever written about america, its dialects and lexography. A fantastic book in every way.

Math is an abbreviation of mathematics and does not require the s. We also say arithematic instead of arithematics.
