Thought I had tried them all... However...

This one works...

[(math '{(time {now} "%Y")} - 1984' )]

So does this one...

[(math "{(time {now} '%Y')} - 1984" )]

Switching around the single and double quotes.  Attempting to escape them
does not work.

Of course I'm used to...

<?php echo date("Y") - 1984 ?>

Thanks BTW Martin, got me to try some other options.

Hmmm... not thinking of the ramifications or even if it were feasible,
security etc... what about a  php pass through...

<php>echo date("Y") - 1984</php>
