Do the math

Hi,

I know that in British English people are more inclined to use ‘maths’ rather than ‘math’, but I was wondering if it also applies to set phrases like these:

‘do the math’

‘do quick math’?

Thank you. Emotion: smile

British people don't normally say "math" in any context. The "s" on the end of "math s " reflects the "s" on the end of mathematic s .
