In mathematics, a Möbius strip, Möbius band, or Möbius loop [a] is a surface that can be formed by attaching the ends of a strip of paper together with a half-twist. As a mathematical object, it was discovered by Johann Benedict Listing and August Ferdinand Möbius in 1858, but it had already appeared in Roman mosaics from the third century CE.

The Möbius function () is a multiplicative function in number theory introduced by the German mathematician August Ferdinand Möbius (also transliterated Moebius) in 1832. [i] [ii] [2] It is ubiquitous in elementary and analytic number theory and most often appears as part of its namesake the Möbius inversion formula.
