Let E be an extension of F and let a, b belong to E. Prove that F(a,b) =F(a)(b) = F(b)(a).

May we assume that $a$ and $b$ are algebraic over $F$?

Yes
 
Pick a basis $\{u_j\}$ for $F(a)$ over $F$, and a basis $\{v_k\}$ for $F(b)$ over $F$.

Consider the set: $\{u_jv_k\}$, and use a dimensional argument.
 
Thread 'Derivation of equations of stress tensor transformation'
Hello ! I derived equations of stress tensor 2D transformation. Some details: I have plane ABCD in two cases (see top on the pic) and I know tensor components for case 1 only. Only plane ABCD rotate in two cases (top of the picture) but not coordinate system. Coordinate system rotates only on the bottom of picture. I want to obtain expression that connects tensor for case 1 and tensor for case 2. My attempt: Are these equations correct? Is there more easier expression for stress tensor...
