Is R^2 isomorphic to C?

Only topologically.

Define "isomorphic". But no.

yes if you define multiplication appropriately

do you mean they are homeomorphic?

they must be since there's a bijection R^2 -> C and (x,y) -> x + iy

They're isomorphic as normed vector spaces over the reals. C is also a ring and a vector space over itself, and R^2 isn't, which makes them not isomorphic in those categories.
