C

Usage

• C[i] is the default form for the i parameter or constant generated in representing the results of various symbolic computations.

Notes

• The C[i] are often used to parameterize families of solutions to equations.

• In functions like DSolve, the C[i] can be thought of as corresponding to constants of integration.

• In cases such as partial differential equations, the C[i] represent functions rather than variables.

• C is the default setting for the option GeneratedParameters in such functions as DSolve, RSolve and Reduce.
