I've seen it both in Ireland and the UK, and I don't get why you would go to all that extra hassle to fix another tab just so that you will never be able to have warm water - only boiling and freezing.

But where's the benefit of two tabs, which cost more to install, are more awkward to clean and will give you either water that's too hot or too cold, over one tab, which is cheaper, easier to clean and allows you to regulate the water temperature?
I had never seen that until I came here, and I still don't get it.

It's not. "Mathematic" is a pronoun, equivalent to "mathematical", and "mathematics" is not a plural of that.
OK, you can use "mathematics" as a singular noun, like "the mathematics of that is difficult" but I prefer to use it as a plural "the mathematics of that are difficult".

Sales taxes are state or even locally applied in some cases, and different states have different categories of which things they want to tax.

Meh, probably different ways water is heated. We used to have two taps but one single faucet until we changed it to a faucet and tap in a single piece. Not much of an issue as it all comes from the same pipe.
