History
Beamer is created as a LaTex document.
Tex - computer software for producing nicely printed output.
Professor Donald E. Knuth, at Stanford Uni-
versity, was planning to publish a series of books
on computing. He discovered that the classical
process of typesetting books was no longer vi-
able and its various replacements were rapidly
declining in quality and so he decided to take a
year o to rectify that omission. He got hooked
and the year turned into ten. The centerpiece
of his nal solution was the program TEX.
(Waud 2003:164)

What about Word and PPT?
You can say: I can do this with my Word Processor!
The output of word is generally a notch below.
It is like a good cooking: you do not know how good it is until you
taste it!
Donald E. Knuth said: Tex is intended for the creation of
beautiful books.

Word and Tex
Word processor is sometimes described as an acronym WYSIWYG:
What you see is what you get.
In Latex when you are typing you do not get distracted by how it
looks. The only formatting you do is to tell Latex I want it to be
my title. You type \title{Mytitle}

Getting Stared
First we must provide key information about our presentation. At
the beginning of our document (preamble) we specify our class
(Beamer), title (Name of presentation), author (Your name),
date.
Getting Stared
Our presentation is in the body of the document in between begin
document and end document. Our le has an extension .tex.
Slides in Beamer
Each Beamer project is made up of a series of frames. Each frame
produces one slide. The Title Page Frame simply displays a title
page.

enumerate - displays a list of items
2
itemize - displays a list of numbered items

More Useful Tricks - Overlays
When your slides appears in incremental order, it helps audience to
focus their attention.
Beamer controls it with \pause:
\begin{itemize}
\itemThis will be on the rst slide
\pause
\itemThis will be on the second slide
\pause
\itemThis will be on the third slide
\end{itemize}
Pause
This will be on the rst slide
This will be on the second slide
This will be on the third slide
Pause
Pause
More Control
You can use numbered specications:
<1> means display only slide 1
<2-3> means display from slide 2 to slide 3
This line will be only on the rst slide
This line will be only on the third slide
This line will be on the second and third slides
