Mathematical proof and students' beliefs about counterexample at non-mathematical faculty

Two tests, a questionnaire and a few questions in each mid-term test were given to second and third year undergraduate students at the Faculty of organization and informatics (FOI) of the University of Zagreb. The data were analyzed to identify and clarify the importance of logic in education of non-mathematicians and their understanding of counterexample as a method of disproving mathematical statements.
