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.
