With a few extra marks, you can have Beamer march through each item on a list one at a time.

Displayed Text
The block command can be used to highlight a statement. A famous quote Prime numbers are more than any assigned multitude of prime numbers. Euclid Because of Aristotles objections, Euclid did not say: The list of all prime numbers is innite.

Displayed Text
The theorem command can be used for theorems. If the appropriate beamer environment is set up, the theorems will be numbered. Theorem 1 Prime numbers are more than any assigned multitude of prime numbers. Euclid Because of Aristotles objections, Euclid did not say: Theorem 2 The list of all prime numbers is innite.

Including Graphics
Most graphics les can be converted to .png format. Such les are then easily included in your presentation.
You can change text size with the tiny environment, for example.

PNG Graphics
A graphics le is included by using the gure environment, and inside of that the includegraphics command.

In Beamer, when you place a gure in the text, thats where it shows up in the slide. Lets repeat the gure at a smaller size.

You can also place gures side by side.

PNG Graphics
Beamer allows you to include mathematical formulas in your presentation as part of your text. For example, you can use the displaymath environment: ||u h u || <= ||u h P h (u )|| + ||P h (u ) u ||

PNG Graphics
The previous graphic had a background that almost matched the slide. A more typical case is shown here. The graphics gure simply shows up as a rectangle imposed on the slide.

Using Verbatim
Sometimes you just want something to show up exactly as you typed it. You can use Latexs verbatim environment for this. But a Beamer frame containing the verbatim command must use a more complicated scheme to begin and end the frame. The Beamer frame must begin with: \begin{frame}[fragile]\ and end with an explicit: \end{frame} Look at the source for this slide to see an example.

Using Semiverbatim
Beamer includes a semiverbatim environment which allows you to place text exactly where you want it, except that you can include a few simple style commands, such as for color. Such frames must begin and end the same way verbatim frames do. Day Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Cost Comment $7 Too much! $14 I got sick $45 Luckily, I didnt have to pay.

Using Semiverbatim
Semiverbatim is one way to display a sample program, using the alert command to highlight an important line. If your program uses curly brackets, youll have to escape them within the semiverbatim environment.
void swap ( int *a, int *b ) { int c; c = *a; *a = *b; *b = *c; <-- This is where you made the mistake! return; }

Active Hyperlinks
Inside of your presentation, you can use the href environment to dene a hyperlink. Clicking on the displayed text will then invoke a browser and go to the specied link. For example, for more information on the Beamer Class, you can click on the Beamer web site.
