Should the word 'State' be capitalized?
Capitalize the word state only when it appears after a state's name, as in "We will travel to Washington State this summer." (But make sure it won't be confused with a visit to the university known as Washington State. Perhaps "state of Washington" would be better.) In the phrase "state of Hawaii," you don't capitalize the word state. Finally, don't capitalize the word state when it's being used as a substitute for the state's name, as in "My father works for the state." It is capitalized, however, in imaginative names such as "the Nutmeg State," "the Empire State," "the Aloha State," and we capitalize "States" when we say things like "We're returning to the States after twenty years in Europe."
When writing. At the end of sentences, in sentences. Basically anywhere in your writing piece.

When do you capitalize the p in president?
When you are referring to a specific president. If you are talking about the President of the United States, it's capitalized. If you are referring to President Kennedy, it's capitalized. It is not capitalized if you are saying, "someday I want to be president", because you are not referring to the person who is a president.
Foreign leaders are not capitalized except as titles or direct address ("In Russia, the president wields substantial power.")

Punctuate this sentence - Sample delicious northern and southern cooking?
Capitalize areas of the country, but not directions. My answer would be yes, capitalize it. Capitalization is a sign of respect. If it is wrong on a worksheet you will lose a point (and don't argue because the old school textbook (1985) doesn't capitalize it in the answer key). But if you don't capitalize it in a paper or web site, you could hurt someone's feelings.
Are spaces considered punctuation marks?
Spaces are not 'marks,' but they are nevertheless the most common form of punctuation. The Romans did not put spaces between words, and divided words at the end of a line without using any punctuation mark. A nightmare!
Is the word the before the word Olympics capitalized?
The word Olympics is capitalized, a proper noun, it is the name of a specific sports competition held by the International Olympic Committee.
When the word that comes before the proper noun Olympics is the name of the city in which a specific Olympic competition is held, such as London Olympics 2012 or Sochi Olympics 2014; or a title including the numerical sequence of the specific competition, such as The Twentieth Winter Olympic Games, the word should be capitalized.
The word Olympics is derived from the original ancient Olympics, an athletic competition said to have originated in the eighth century in Olympia Greece, also a proper noun, the name of a city.
However, the word olympic or olympian are sometimes used as common nouns and adjectives for things not related to Olympia or the Olympics, such as an olympic effort or he's a real olympian. These uses should be capitalized but you will often see them in lower case.
How you spelt it in the question:Do the math.m-a-t-h.

In this usage, no, since it's general. But say the class was a specific course, like Earth Science 101, you would have to capitalize it.
What do you capitalize in a title?
The first and last word, and every other word, except for "the," "and," "of," and "a". So if you title is "The United States of America," even though "the" would normally be lowercase, it's the first word so it's capitalized.
