The aim of this paper is to present a short biography of the Spanish mathematician and engineer Tomás Rodríguez Bachiller. He won a chair of mathematics in the Faculty of Sciences during the II Republic and lived well with people of diverse political tendencies. He has been considered as an exiled; however, we shall show that this isn’t so. After Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), he was suspect by the Franco Regime at first and a file was made, but this fact had little impact in his life. Many of the activities that he conducted in the Universidad Central in Madrid and other important scientific institutions, and his important work as translator, will be shown.
