in which subfield K of which field L?

    After all, e to the pi i = -1, so this shows that pi and e are not always algebraically independent.
By definition?

    I think any two distinct transcendental numbers must be algebraically independent, almost by definition. Since e and pi are transcendental, they must be a. i. No? - David Spector
not all transcedentials are algebraically independant

    pi and 4-pi are both transcedential and sum to 4, so are not algebraically independant.
two transcendentals are not necessarily algebraically independen

    e and e^2 are both transcendental but (e,e^2) makes the two-variable polynomial f(x,y)=x^2-y equal to zero
