摘要

As mathematicians, we are generally used to proving results 'from the bottom up' so to speak. In other words, in order to prove what might be regarded as a relatively difficult theorem, we start with slightly more elementary results (often called lemmas) and gradually build up layer upon layer of complexity as we head towards our goal. I thought it might be fun to commit a form of mathematical heresy, and to try to do things the other way round; hence the title of this article. When doing something such as this there is of course always the potential for circular arguments to arise. These occur when theorem X is used to prove theorem Y that was itself assumed in order to prove theorem X! We note here that it is not necessary to assume either of the 'nuts' considered in this article in order to prove the 'sledgehammer'.
