    I thought school aubjects needed definite articles?

      I just came here to ask the same thing – if the phrase with definite articles would be more natural.

      How is "I like history but prefer math" not an acceptable answer?

      I'm sure it should be.

      I see that mata can also be used nowadays to say "math" or "maths" https://www.focloir.ie/en/dictionary/ei/math.
