\subsection{About Beamer}

\begin{frame}{What Is Beamer?}
	\begin{itemize}
		\item Beamer is a flexible \LaTeX\ class for making slides and presentations.
		\item It supports functionality for making PDF slides complete with colors, overlays, environments, themes, transitions, etc.
		\item Adds a couple new features to the commands you've been working with.
		\pause
		\item As you probably guessed, this presentation was made using the Beamer class.

\begin{frame}[fragile]{What would you like in your sandwich?}
\begin{itemize}
	\item So what can you do between \verb=\begin{frame}= and \verb=\end{frame}=?
	\pause
	\item Pretty much anything you can do in a normal \LaTeX\
	document:
	\pause
	\begin{itemize}
		\item figures, tables, equations, normal text, etc.
	\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

%\begin{frame}[fragile]{Too much \LaTeX\ for your frames to handle?}
%	\begin{itemize}
%		\item Be careful not to fit too much text, especially when writing mathematical formulas, but if you must...
%		\pause
%		\item Use the optional argument \verb=[allowframebreaks]= with \verb=\begin{frame}= to let \LaTeX\ automatically segment your very long frame.
%		\pause
%		\item Warning: Overlays are not available with \verb=[allowframebreaks]=.
%	\end{itemize}

\begin{frame}{Don't Do This}
\begin{itemize}
	\item Here is a well-known formula:\vspace{-.5em}
	$$\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^{n} k = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}$$
	\item Here is a less well-known, but still useful, formula:\vspace{-.5em}
	$$\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^{n} k^2 = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}$$
	\item This is pretty well-known, too:\vspace{-.5em}
	$$\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^{n} k^3 = \left(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\right)^2$$
	\item Who knows about this one?\vspace{-.5em}
	$$\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^{n} k^4 = \frac{n(6n^4 + 15n^3 + 10n^2 + 1)}{30}$$
	\item Have fun factoring the quartic expression!
