The paper considers the organization of distance learning in higher mathematics during the period of quarantine measures. It is told about the means already available and their further development. The issue of the possibilities of intermediate certification in the remote mode is discussed, as well as the experience of conducting a colloquium with proctoring elements is highlighted. Interim students’ results on studying higher mathematics of one of the streams are given. The results showed that remote learning, which, of course, cannot completely replace personal communication with lecturers, can and should be used not only during the period of self-isolation, but also in the normal educational process.
