dc.description.abstractThe Möbius number of a finite group is its most important nontrivial combinatorial invariant. In this paper, we compute the Möbius numbers of many partially-ordered sets, including the odd-partition posets and the subgroup lattices of many infinite families of groups. This is done with an eye towards computing the Möbius number of the symmetric group on 18 points.
