LaTeX/Beamer
From QERM Wiki
Beamer allows you to make presentations using the all-powerful LaTeX typesetting language. It's pretty flexible and powerful, and relatively intuitive unless you try to be too fancy.
Example Beamer presentation
This is a simple Beamer presentation with a few basic "tricks". Download all the files into some directory and try compiling. You should get something like the .pdf. By comparing the .tex code with the .pdf one can theoretically learn something about how beamer works. Apologies for poorly documented code.
