The LaTeX Beamer document class produces presentations, handouts, and transparency slides as typeset PDF files. Beamer Scientific Workplace 6 Theorem/Definition/Lemma problem - - Numbering - Te. XI am trying to work on the numbering of the theorems/definitions/lemmas etc., and I have some problems with the numbering.
Every computer in the lab contains a free LaTeX distribution, MiKTeX, as well as the WinEdt text processor, which is linked to this distribution. The MiKTeX distribution includes the Beamer presentation package, which enables you to design slides in LaTeX.
NOTE on recommended software: If you would like to have software installed on your home computer, similar to the one in the lab, please refer to the following links:
- Text editors:WinEdt (same as in the lab but not free – however, it is preconfigured to work with MiKTeX), Emacs (free, versatile, very customizable but with a bit of a learning curve), Textpad
- LaTeX distribution:MiKTeX(free)
- Postscript editor and viewer: Ghostscript (editor), Ghostview (viewer) (free)
Basic Steps for Learning LaTeX with WinEdt and MiKTeX
- Launch WinEdt from Start-Programs.
- Since WinEdt is preconfigured to use MiKTeX (LaTeX), you can already start to create a basic Tex file/document. For a GOOD introduction to LaTeX programming and syntax, please read this manual (a hard copy is available in the computer lab shelves – check the black folder). Alternatively, you can refer to LaTeX for Complete Novices.
- A complementary tutorial will teach you how to use WinEdt and MiKTeX – WinEdt-MiKTeX tutorial. Please visit also http://www.winedt.com/about.html for the latest information when working on TeX projects
Using Beamer with WinEdt and MiKTeX
Beamer allows you to create slides in LaTeX. NOTE that you don’t need to retype your equations if you already have the original Tex document (simply copy and paste the relevant LaTeX code).
Beamer resources are available below:
- Beamer User Guide (from http://www.tug.org/)
- Example of a micro lunch presentation prepared with Beamer (many thanks to Migiwa Tanaka for providing this)
- NOTE on EPS files: a simple way to process MS Office objects such as graphs and tables into EPS files for LaTeX/Beamer import is to use Adobe Illustrator (available in the Krieger computer lab) – copy and paste the object into the Illustrator file and save it as EPS.
