The Möbius function is the function $\mu$ defined by the formula $$\mu(n) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 1 &; n \mathrm{\hspace{2pt}is\hspace{2pt}a\hspace{2pt}squarefree\hspace{2pt}positive\hspace{2pt}integer\hspace{2pt}with\hspace{2pt}even\hspace{2pt}number\hspace{2pt}of\hspace{2pt}prime\hspace{2pt}factors} \\ -1 &; n \mathrm{\hspace{2pt}is\hspace{2pt}a\hspace{2pt}squarefree\hspace{2pt}positive\hspace{2pt}integer\hspace{2pt}with\hspace{2pt}odd\hspace{2pt}number\hspace{2pt}of\hspace{2pt}prime\hspace{2pt}factors} \\ 0 &; n\mathrm{\hspace{2pt}has\hspace{2pt}a\hspace{2pt}square\hspace{2pt}divisor}. \end{array} \right.$$
