Generally, no. When the word refers to the field of mathematics, it is not capitalized. When it is the name of a specific class or course at an school, university, etc., then it IS capitalized.

Examples:

Joey enjoys math.

Joey signed up for Business Math 101.

English is capitalised because it is a title and is named after a place (England / English), but math is not capitalised in general because it is not a name, title or place. (However, in the United States, if you are referring to the field, then it is capitalised. Other English countries ignore this "rule").

The term "math" is used dominantly in the United States, whereas "maths" is used in the majority of other countries.
