Examples of counterexamples: a book conspectus

A counterexample is any exception to a generalization. Counterexamples are often used in science (and philosophy), as a means to setting boundaries. In mathematics at large, well-chosen counterexamples may bound possible theorems, disprove certain conjectures. This conspectus is (mostly) meant to gather and share counterexample book references (on algebra, analysis, calculus, logic, philosophy, probability, statistics, topology).

Abstract

A counterexample is any exception to a generalization. Counterexamples are often used in science (and philosophy), as a means to setting boundaries. In mathematics at large, well-chosen counterexamples may bound possible theorems, disprove certain conjectures. This conspectus is (mostly) meant to gather and share counterexample book references (on algebra, analysis, calculus, logic, philosophy, probability, statistics, topology).
