It’s just ‘is’ because ‘are’ is mainly used for plural

The way you can tell to use “is” and not “are” is to consider if “mathematics” is singular or not. “Mathematics” is typically used as a singular noun, to describe the field of study (not a group of mathematicians). However, it is plural in form- we describe said field of study as “mathematics” and not “mathematic”. This contrasts other singular nouns; biology, for instance, is not called biologies. Even though “mathematics” is plural in form, it is still singular. Thus, the most grammatically correct sentence would be “mathematics is very hard”. In my experience, however, it’s more common to say “math / maths is very hard.”

how to identify noun clauses as Subject, direct object, predicate nominative, object of preposition or, appositive
nataly862011 [7]
Most people are comfortable with the idea of a noun, but they may not feel so confident when it comes to the noun clause. A noun clause is a group of words acting together as a noun. These clauses are always dependent clauses. That is, they do not form a complete sentence. Take a look at some sample sentences containing noun clauses to understand their purpose and function.
