\section{Introduction}
\noindent Beamer is a professional way to display mathematical information to an audience, similar to PowerPoint. To begin a beamer presentation begin with \emph{beamer} instead of \emph{article} in the document. For a quick Beamer template click on "Wizard" then "Quick Beamer Presentation."

\begin{verbatim}
\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}

\end{document}
\end{verbatim}

\section{Table of Contents}
To include a table of contents add the command after the title page frame. The following command updates the table of contents automatically:

\begin{verbatim}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Table of Contents}
\tableofcontents[currentsection]
\end{frame}
\end{verbatim}


\noindent To add sections, subsections, or subsubsection use the following commands:

\begin{verbatim}
\section{Title that will appear in table of content goes here}
Body goes here
\subsection{Title that will appear in table of content goes here}
Body of subsection goes here
\subsubsection{Title that will appear in table of content goes here}
Body of subsubsection goes here.
\end{verbatim}

\section{Using Columns}
You can use two or more columns to group information
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{frame}{Using Columns}
\begin{columns}
\begin{column}[c]{5cm}
First Column: this is sample text so you can see what happens as it wraps
\end{column}
\begin{column}[c]{3cm}
Second Column: You can fill up as much text as you want and the "c" command will center from top to bottom. 
\end{column}
\end{columns}
\end{frame}
\end{verbatim}

\section{Inserting Pictures}
You can insert any picture as long as it is saved in the same file as your tex document
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{frame}{Inserting Pictures}
\label{Inserting Pictures}
\graphicspath{{images/}}
\includegraphics{graph}
\end{frame}
\end{verbatim}


\section{Latex Math Mode}
\begin{verbatim}
Beamer is useful for displaying math homework problems done with Latex
\begin{frame}{Latex Math Mode}
\begin{flushleft}
The area of a triangle with side lengths $a,b,c$ is given by \textit{Heron's formula}:
\end{flushleft}
\[A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)},
\]
\end{frame}
\end{verbatim}

\section{Defining Blocks}
\begin{verbatim}
Blocks are a way to organize information using color
\begin{frame}{Defining Blocks}
\begin{block}{This block would be good for a theorem}
This is a block
\end{block}
\begin{alertblock}{Alert Block}
This is an alert block
\end{alertblock}
\begin{exampleblock}{Example Block}
This is an example block
\end{exampleblock}
\end{frame}
\end{verbatim}

\section{Linking}
\begin{verbatim}
You can insert a button that will take you to a certain place in your presentation
\begin{frame}{Linking}
The link will point to the frame with the picture
\hyperlink{Inserting Pictures}{\beamergotobutton{Inserting Pictures}}
\end{frame}
\end{verbatim}

\section{Lists}
There are three different ways of creating lists in beamer.

\subsection{Itemize}

\begin{verbatim}
\subsection{Itemize}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Itemize}
\begin{itemize}
\item Follow the same procedure as with LaTex to itemize.
\item When utilizing the command, make sure to start and 
finish each frame with the itemize command. 
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{verbatim}

\subsection{Enumarate}
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Enumerate}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Slope-intercept form
\item Point-slope form
\item Standard form
\item \ldots
\end{enumerate}
\end{frame}
\end{verbatim}
\subsection{Description}

\begin{verbatim}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Description}
\begin{description}
\item[Slope-intercept form] Description goes here
\item[Point-slope form] Description goes here
\item[Standard Form] Description goes here
\end{description}
\end{frame}
\end{verbatim}

\section{Overlays}
There are several methods that can be useful to present large amounts of information to an audience.
\subsection{Pause}

\begin{verbatim}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Pause}
\begin{eqnarray*}
(a+b)^2 & = & (a+b)(a+b)\\
\pause
& = & (a+b)a+(a+b)b\\
\pause
& = & a(a+b)+b(a+b)\\
\pause
& = & a^2 +ab+ba+b^2\\
\pause
& = & a^2 +ab+ab+b^2\\
\pause
& = & a^2 +2ab+b^2
\end{eqnarray*} 
\end{frame}
\end{verbatim}

\subsection{Overlay Specifications}
The number inside the $<>$ brackets indicates in which slide the information will take place.

\begin{verbatim}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Red}
Quadratic Equation
\begin{center}
\alert<1>{$y$}= 
\alert<2>{$Ax^2$} +
\alert<4>{$Bx$}+
\alert<6>{C}.
\end{center}
\end{frame}
\end{verbatim}



\begin{flushright}
Some example in the presentation \\
were taken from homework problems.
\end{flushright}
