I'm exploring an unrelated question about power series with complex coefficients. While exploring this question, I wondered: What is the cardinality of the set of all such power series? Or with different language: What is the cardinality of at most countable subsets of C (or R, if you prefer)?
I asked my advisor and he surprisingly wasn't sure, though he suspects that the set of subsets in question has a larger cardinality than R.
Thanks a lot!
Edit: Certainly if we only consider finite subsets, then this set of subsets has cardinality equal to R.
Edit2: Realized my wording was wrong. I'm actually looking for the cardinality of the set of sequences with entries in C, not the cardinality of the set of at most countable subsets of C. However, both questions are answered below, and both turn out to be |R|.
