Damn germans win again! Why do you have to beat us at recycling and language?

Google mostly says that it doesn't exist and tries to correct you to mathematical (D;). BUT ENGLISH IS A DESCRIPTIVE LANGUAGE! Let's band together, my (checks followers) 0 friends and make mathematic a real word that will go on to confuse people into thinking 'math' and 'maths' don't mean the same thing!
