A new approach for use cases description is exposed. It is based on four mathematical concepts: sequential events, possible results, tree diagrams, and permutations. This approach pretends to encourage undergraduate students to use formal concepts in software engineering, in order to reduce the lack of formality that this discipline suffers. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
