Abstract
The article discusses the application of modal logic to the analysis of mathematical discourse. It is shown that such an application requires caution, as it often leads to absurd results. In particular, the thesis is being analyzed that the necessity of mathematical truths is provable in mathematics. It is shown that such a mixture of metaphysics and mathematical logic is illegal.
