Good Evening All,

I apologize for the trivial nature of this question, but my curiosity
has gotten the better of me. I do not recall ever seeing the expression
"maths" in lieu of "math." for "mathematics" in print nor seeing it at
all until I started following the history of mathematics email lists.
When did this expression originate?

Regards,
Bob Taylor
