I realise it should be basic “math”. For some strange reason almost 99% of people here in india say maths. We are taught by teachers as maths. People invariably say I like maths, not math. Its just so ingrained by now that i wrote that in spite of knowing that its “math”. Probably a thing like your comment is what my brain was waiting for, it would be more “brainy” before writing maths again :)
There is no right or wrong about the matter, only convention. In Britain, India, and many other places, the conventional abbreviation is maths. In the United States, it is math.
But thomblake’s suggestion of “Basic Mathematics” at least sidesteps having to choose.

In the spirit of compromise, I suggest “Basic Mathematic”, the one option that noone likes. (Ever looked up where the abbreviation “UTC” came from?)
thanks for tellin that. I should have looked up before saying that
