In the number-fields used outside university multiplication is commutative (it even is for complex numbers!). So I can't imagine why this should not be correct.

There are algebraic structures where multiplication is not commutative, but I don't think this was the case here.

On that point, matrix multiplication is not commutative (and oh that it were!).
