C

C[i]
is the default form for the i

parameter or constant generated in representing the results of various symbolic computations.

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.
