No, the word mathematics is not a compound noun; mathematics is a common, abstract, aggregate noun. An aggregate noun is a word representing an indefinite number of parts; aggregate nouns have no singular form.

A compound noun is a word made of two or more individual words that form a word with a meaning of its own. There are three types of compound nouns:

  • open spaced: tennis shoe, front door, paint brush, bus stop
  • hyphenated: mother-in-law, fifty-five, six-pack, T-shirt
  • closed: bathtub, Baseball, houseboat, lunchbox
