The Principle of Induction:

    Goal: Collection of statements $ P_0,P_1...P_i $ that we want to prove.
    Idea: Prove $ P_0 $ explicitly.
          Design a crank/elevator that proves the following
            If $ P_i $ is true then $ P_{i+1} $ is also true.
          Then, induction guarantees that every $ P_i $ is true.
