I have noticed that "math" is no longer in the search path for version 2.0.
If you want to use this you will find it in 
		     "NextApps/Mathematica.app/Kernel"
"math" is actually a little shell script, and can be copied into "/LocalApps"
to place it in you search path.  "math" is usefull if you want to access
a next remotely, or if you want to run batch files.

To access the files in Mathematica.app you can cd to it from a terminal or
you can open it from the file viewer by using "Open as Folder" in the file
menu.  There are a lot of interesting files in Mathematica.app that people
may be interested in.  For instance "psfix" in the Kernel/Utilities directory
can be used to make plot files into .eps files.  It is also a shell script.
The best way to find out about its features is to read it.
