Examples:
car, cars
fox, foxes
baby, babies
man, men

Mathematics is singular. It is defined as "The study of quantity, structure, space, and change." It is a noun that happens to end in an s.
ReplyDeleteMathematic is an adjective.
This a good point. Mathematics is singular. If you read the instructions again, you will note that they state, "Some are plural and some are not." Thank you for your comment.
