Möbius function: Applications & Art

The Möbius function μ ( n ) {\displaystyle \mu (n)} is a multiplicative function in number theory introduced by the German mathematician August Ferdinand Möbius (also transliterated Moebius) in 1832. It is ubiquitous in elementary and analytic number theory and most often appears as part of its namesake the Möbius inversion formula. Following work of…
