Maths Personal Statement dilema

[nem]

Ok its a bit of a picky dilema, but here it goes. In my personal statement for maths should i refer to the subject as maths or mathmatics?

mathmatics is the proper name, you know the whole "one grammatical or spelling error and its binned" arguement

maths however i think gives the impression i am relaxed and affectionate about the subject

thanks in advance
