I thought it was pretty simple: in the USA (and Canada?), you say 
"math"; in the rest of the world, it's "maths."  Same idea as with 
colo(u)r and alumin(i)um.  It's not a controversy unless you choose to 
make it one.

(With Canada, I'm never sure.  They are linked to the UK, yet are so 
much like USAmericans.)
