elementary set theory - Bijection between mathbbR and mathbbR2





I have been thinking for a while whether its possible to have bijection between R and R2, but I cant think of a solution. So my question is: is there a bijection between R and R2 (with proof)?


Answer



Yes there is. I think it is one of the results of Cantor. Take two real numbers and combine them by interposing their digit in the decimal expansion.



example:
(0.1415,0.7172)(0.17411752)
