Abstract
Mathematical modelling, especially in software engineering metrics, requires more emphasis to be placed on the validity of the selected mathematical tools and techniques to be used. There are a plethora of occurrences in the recent literature of the misapplication of quantitative techniques together with errors in the underlying mathematics. Software engineering metrics needs to take more care in its use of mathematics if it is to gain credence in the scientific and engineering communities.
