Creating a Random Number Generator with JavaScript but isn't working and I don't know why, help?????

I've been following along with The Random Challenge and I legit have written THE EXACT SAME as Dave McFarland, but when I Preview the Workspace it comes up with the box to input a number but after that nothing else happens and I really don't know why.

My HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
 </head>
<body>
  <div class="container">
  <h1>Random Number Generator</h1>
   <script src="random.js"></script> 
  </div>
</body>
</html>

My JS

var input = prompt("Please type a number");
var topNumber = parseInt(input);
var randomNumber = math.floor(math.random() * topNumber) +1;
var message = "<p>" + randomNumber + " is a number between 1 and " + topNumber + ".</p>";
document.write(message);

HELP MEEEEEEEEEEE:)

FIGURED IT OUT! Suddenly clocked that I didn't use a capital M for my Math.'s. So for anyone else with a similar situation, make sure you're using your capitals when need be applicable. Bless me.
