In 2021, Russian University of Transport (previously known as MIIT, Moscow Institute of Transport Engineers) turns 125 years old.The Department of Higher Mathematics has existed since the inception of the university and has a rich history.This significant date provides an opportunity to the authors to refer to some of the most important moments in the history of this Russian higher educational institution, as well as to recall the names of some scientists, mathematicians, university professors, whose activities undoubtedly influenced both the level of training of domestic railway engineers, and the high status of the educational institution itself.It is also an opportunity to highlight the continuity of the values of mathematical knowledge for the past and future generations of students in transport and transportation fields.
