Why We Love TeX
Beamer handles mathematical expressions exactly as LATEXdoes.
1 Which of the following vector fields F. are conservative?For those that are, find a function f (x , y) such that F = ∇f.
1 F = 〈2xy , x2 + y2〉2 F = 〈2 cos x ,2y cos x〉3 F = 〈2 cos x + ex ,2ey 〉4 F = 〈2 cos y + ey ,2ex〉

A Theorem on Prime Numbers
TheoremThere exist infintely many primes.
Proof.Assume that there are only finitely many primes, p1 . . . pk .Consider n = Πk
i=1pi + 1. Since gcd(n,pi) = 1 for all i , it followsthat n is divisible by a prime other than those from the finiteset.
