I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'the study' is the first definition.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for maths that I've seen before include "18 across subject" , "Numbers subject" , "Adding and subtraction, etc" , "Study of numbers (abbr.)" , "Arithmetic etc" .)
