FORMULA

Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, a(n) = O(x^(1/2 + eps)) for every eps > 0 (Littlewood - see Landau p. 161).

MAPLE

with(numtheory); A002321 := n->add(mobius(k), k=1..n);

MATHEMATICA

Rest[ FoldList[ #1+#2&, 0, Array[ MoebiusMu, 100 ] ] ]

PROGRAM

(PARI) a(n)=sum(k=1, n, moebius(k))

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<1, 0, matdet(matrix(n, n, i, j, (j==1)|(0==j%i))))
