If a complex number z = (x, y) = x +iy where x and y are real numbers (and i is the imaginary root of -1), then RxR is is isomorphic to C. This means that the two sets are equivalent.

a subset is a group that is contained within the other group. So the set of letters {a, b} is a subset of {a, b, c} It is also worth noting that {a, b} is also a subset of itself {a, b}. In set arithmatic a subset I believe is defined like this: set1 is a subset of set2 if set1 + set2 = set2. {a, b} + {a, b, c} = {a, b, c}
Elements of the set C denote complex numbers.
Proper subset definitionA proper subset of a set A is a subset of A that is not equal to A. In other words, if B is a proper subset of A, then all elements of B are in Abut A contains at least one element that is not in B.For example, if A={1,3,5} then B={1,5} is a proper subset of A. The set C={1,3,5} is a subset of A, but it is not a proper subset of A since C=A. The set D={1,4} is not even a subset of A, since 4 is not an element of A.
Real numbers are a proper subset of complex numbers. In fact each complex number, z, can be represented as z = x +iy where x and y are real numbers and i is the imaginary square root of -1.Thus the set of complex numbers is the Cartesian product of two sets of real numbers. That is, C = R x R where C is the set of complex numbers and R is the set of real numbers.
