Right…

Mathematics

Maths = correct

Math = incorrect

Math. (with a full-stop) = correct

Only Math. Is correct because the last letter of the abbreviation is NOT the last letter of the abbreviated word (Mathematics).

Maths doesn't need a full-stop and is correct per se, because 'S' is the last letter of 'Mathematics'.

Math. Needs a full-stop because 'H' isn't the last letter of 'Mathematics'.

However this is British English, it's typical of American English-users to ignore this rule, hence why Mr. and Mrs. Is used in America, as opposed to Mr and Mrs as used in the UK.

Mister

Misses

Mr ('R' = last letter of 'mister' = no full-stop needed)

Mrs ('S' = last letter of 'misses' = no full-stop needed)

NB: if you are American, a full-stop is the British term for a (grammatical!) 'Period'.

Hope this helps someone...

Comment

Two points. First of all, 'Mrs' is the abbreviation for 'mistress', not 'misses'! Secondly, it seems to me that as 'mathematics' is plural, it would make more sense to say 'maths', rather than 'math'.
