| Sep 14, 2015 at 11:50 | comment | added | Todd Trimble | "Viva" is a term I always associate with English universities. In C.P. Snow's introduction to A Mathematician's Apology, he recounts meeting Hardy for the first time when, learning that Snow had an interest in cricket (and interviewing him as potential cricket companion), he put Snow through a "moderately stiff viva", peppering him with various hypothetical questions such as what he would do as captain of this or that team. Anyway, looking it up just now, it's short for viva voce and it's a synonym for oral examination (which thesis defenses -- or is it defences here? :-) -- tend to be). | |
