The squarefree totient analog of the harmonic number F_n is given by F_n = Sum_{k=1..n} mu^2(k)/phi(k) where mu(k) is the Möbius function and phi(k) is Euler's totient function.
Conjectured to be equivalent to Mertens's constant B_3 minus Euler's constant (A138312). B_3 - gamma is given by Sum_{i>=1} log p_i/(p_i*(p_i-1)), where p_i is the i^th prime = Sum_{j>=2} mu(j)*zeta'(j)/zeta(j), mu(j) is the Mobius function, zeta'(j) is the derivative of zeta(j).

FORMULA
Limit_{n -> infinity} ((Sum_{k=1..n} mu^2(k)/phi(k)) - H_n), where mu(k) is the Möbius function, phi(k) is Euler's totient function and H_n is the n-th harmonic number.
