1 An example of a presentation with L A T E X and Beamer Test subtitle Lori T. Jeremiah Ray B. Langstrom Carleton College February 21, 2014 Project advisor: M. Holmes Dept. of Mathemagical Inquiry Jeremiah, Langstrom (Carleton) Example presentation February 21, / 16

2 Contents 1 Basics 2 Blocks 3 Math 4 Lists 5 Overlays Simplified syntax 6 Structure and ToC 7 Slide formatting Jeremiah, Langstrom (Carleton) Example presentation February 21, / 16

3 Title of the first frame This frame has very little content. Caution This example is meant to be used alongside its source! If you are only viewing the PDF, this document will not be useful to you. Jeremiah, Langstrom (Carleton) Example presentation February 21, / 16

4 Text formatting Beamer supports the same text-formatting commands as ordinary L A T E X. However, for best results, you should use \alert instead of \emph: emph text alert text Bold text should be avoided; you can t be sure it will be distinct on a projector. Jeremiah, Langstrom (Carleton) Example presentation February 21, / 16

5 Use of block environments I Beamer supports the standard block environments. Theorem You can write theorems. Proof. They can have proofs! Jeremiah, Langstrom (Carleton) Example presentation February 21, / 16

6 Use of block environments II Example You can also give examples. Definition And define terms. Jeremiah, Langstrom (Carleton) Example presentation February 21, / 16

7 Use of block environments III Custom block You can even create custom blocks! Custom example And custom example blocks! Jeremiah, Langstrom (Carleton) Example presentation February 21, / 16

8 Using math in Beamer Math works both inline: x 2 + y 2 = z 2 and display: Z 1 `1 e`x 2 dx = p ı Jeremiah, Langstrom (Carleton) Example presentation February 21, / 16

9 Lists in Beamer Beamer also has support for ordered and unordered lists. 1 An ordered item. 2 Another ordered item. An unordered subitem. Another unordered subitem. 3 A third ordered item. Jeremiah, Langstrom (Carleton) Example presentation February 21, / 16

10 Overlay specifications Beamer allows you to set up animated slides using overlays. Use this with caution less is more! Overlays are created by specifying the numbers of the subslides on which the object should appear. Jeremiah, Langstrom (Carleton) Example presentation February 21, / 16

11 Example of overlay with itemize The following items will appear one at a time. Each is created using the \item call shown. \item<1-> Jeremiah, Langstrom (Carleton) Example presentation February 21, / 16

12 Example of overlay with itemize The following items will appear one at a time. Each is created using the \item call shown. \item<1-> \item<2-> Jeremiah, Langstrom (Carleton) Example presentation February 21, / 16

13 Example of overlay with itemize The following items will appear one at a time. Each is created using the \item call shown. \item<1-> \item<2-> \item<3-> Jeremiah, Langstrom (Carleton) Example presentation February 21, / 16

14 Example of overlay with itemize The following items will appear one at a time. Each is created using the \item call shown. \item<1-> \item<2-> \item<3-> \item<4-> Jeremiah, Langstrom (Carleton) Example presentation February 21, / 16

15 Example of simplified overlay with itemize Beamer supports a simplified syntax for revealing lists one item at a time. Code \begin{itemize}[<+->] \item First item \item Second item \item Third item \end{itemize} First item Jeremiah, Langstrom (Carleton) Example presentation February 21, / 16

16 Example of simplified overlay with itemize Beamer supports a simplified syntax for revealing lists one item at a time. Code \begin{itemize}[<+->] \item First item \item Second item \item Third item \end{itemize} First item Second item Jeremiah, Langstrom (Carleton) Example presentation February 21, / 16

17 Example of simplified overlay with itemize Beamer supports a simplified syntax for revealing lists one item at a time. Code \begin{itemize}[<+->] \item First item \item Second item \item Third item \end{itemize} First item Second item Third item Jeremiah, Langstrom (Carleton) Example presentation February 21, / 16

18 Example of simplified overlay with text You can also use a simplified syntax to reveal a slide from top to bottom using \pause. Jeremiah, Langstrom (Carleton) Example presentation February 21, / 16

19 Example of simplified overlay with text You can also use a simplified syntax to reveal a slide from top to bottom using \pause. This text will appear only on the second slide. Jeremiah, Langstrom (Carleton) Example presentation February 21, / 16

20 Document structure A Beamer presentation can be structured using \section and \subsection, just like a paper. These commands go between the slides. They do not change the text on your slides, but they show up in the Table of Contents, and some themes show them in a sidebar or tree. Jeremiah, Langstrom (Carleton) Example presentation February 21, / 16

21 Tables of contents Beamer supports automatically building tables of contents. Caution Be careful how you use the table of contents. Just throwing an outline slide up and then using a minute to read it out is a waste of your audience s time. Jeremiah, Langstrom (Carleton) Example presentation February 21, / 16

22 Multicolumn slides Beamer supports slides with multiple columns. Theorem Here is a theorem. Proof. And here is its proof. Jeremiah, Langstrom (Carleton) Example presentation February 21, / 16
