If p and q are prime numbers such that p is not a quadratic residue mod q. Show that if pq=-1 mod 4 then the polynomial f(x)=x^2-q is irreducible in F_p[x].

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...
