Abstract
We show that the functions and change sign infinitely often, and that under certain assumptions, they exhibit a strong bias towards positive values. These results build on recent work of Diamond & Pintz and Lamzouri concerning oscillation of Mertens' product formula, and answers to the affirmative a question posed by Rosser and Schoenfeld.
