2 to the Power of C  

Robert P. Munafo, 2008 Feb 11.



2c is the order of the power set of a continuum. This uses the letter c to represent the order of the continuum, that is, the number of real numbers.

This can be visualised as the number of scalar-valued functions of one variable, or in fact, the number of rank-N fields of D dimensions for any finite values N and D.
