Grammar

noncountable nouns, proper nouns, use of articles!!

0Hi,02br
02br
00Have had mixed responses to these questions so am hoping someone can help clarify:02br
02br
00Yesterday I went to math class. or Yesterday I went to the math class. 02br
02br
00Most people have said the second one is grammatically correct, but would it not be Yesterday I went to the math class if it was talking about actually going to the math classroom.02br
02br
00How about02br
02br
00Yesterday I went to a math class?02br
02br
00Would the math in math class be capitalised as it is a name of a class which would mean that it doesn't need an article?02br
02br
00In general use are subject classes i.e math, science, history - capitalised or not?????????????? 0-
