Homework Statement V^alpha and U^beta are both contravariant vectors, and obey the equation V^alpha=E^alpha_beta*U^beta. Show that E^alpha_beta is a mixed second rank tensor. (Note: I couldn't get the latex to work, my apologies for the ugly equations. E^alpha_beta means E with a superscript...

Yeah, I agree with a lot of what you're saying. It seems as though the definition of 'well-qualified' isn't remotely uniform across North America. The programs I'm familiar with are basically the opposite of the ones you're familiar with. I should mention, if I haven't already, that I'm...

I think our opinions are different because we both have had vastly different personal experiences. I haven't met a resident who didn't have a medical physics PhD, and you haven't met one who did have one. I guess we're at opposite ends of the spectrum haha. I admit my sample size isn't very...

You're kind of reinforcing my point here, althought I was speaking specifically about entry into residencies, not any job. I'm saying that it is considerably easier to get into a CAMPEP residency if you have a CAMPEP PhD. As you said, it's not necessary to get a PhD to get into a residency, but...

That may be true, but would you not agree that if you hold a medical physics PhD, you have a significant advantage over all of the people applying for residencies without one? Most of the advertisements for residences I've seen state that they give preference to people with medical physics...

I may be wrong, but I think you are overestimating the number of students graduating from CAMPEP programs who are competing for residences on a yearly basis. I think it is generally well known that it'll be considerably tougher to get a good job in the field nowadays with only an MSc, and that...
