How to type Mu

Write \mu inside math mode, that is between $…$ for inline math or in a \[ … \] or equation block for display math. It is part of core LaTeX math, so no extra package is required.

Greek letters work in math mode only: in running text write $\mu$, or load the textgreek package for upright text forms. In running text, outside math mode, the same sign is \textmu. With unicode-math under XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, typing μ in a formula gives the same symbol.

Example
$\mu \in \mathbb{R}$μ∈R\mu \in \mathbb{R}μ∈R
