C-number
text:
The term c-number is an old nomenclature introduced by Paul Dirac which refers to real and complex numbers. It is used to distinguish from operators in quantum mechanics. Although c-numbers are commuting, the term anti-commuting c-number is also used to refer to a type of anti-commuting numbers that are mathematically described by Grassmann numbers. The term is also used to refer solely to "commuting numbers" in at least one major textbook.
