I might go even further and say there's no "math". There are a wide variety of axiomatic systems (eg. games). None has the sole claim to being "math". Maybe they're all "math".

(On the other hand... I guess any system that contains the "natural numbers" would be sufficient for the bulk of what's widely considered "math".)

I'll pick my side. They are all mathematics

(I belive math and mathematics are different. What is commonly called math is just numbers and stuff. But mathematics fits the general description of all axioms)
