\item Your introduction goes here!
\item Use \texttt{itemize} to organize your main points.

Some examples of commonly used commands and features are included, to help you get started.

\begin{frame}{Tables and Figures}
\begin{itemize}
\item Use \texttt{tabular} for basic tables --- see Table~\ref{tab:widgets}, for example.
\item You can upload a figure (JPEG, PNG or PDF) using the files menu.
\item To include it in your document, use the \texttt{includegraphics} command (see the comment below in the source code).
\end{itemize}
% Commands to include a figure:
%\begin{figure}
%\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{your-figure's-file-name}
%\caption{\label{fig:your-figure}Caption goes here.}
%\end{figure}
\begin{table}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{l|r}
Item & Quantity \\\hline
Widgets & 42 \\
Gadgets & 13
\end{tabular}

\begin{frame}{Readable Mathematics}
Let $X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_n$ be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables with $\text{E}[X_i] = \mu$ and $\text{Var}[X_i] = \sigma^2 < \infty$, and let
$$S_n = \frac{X_1 + X_2 + \cdots + X_n}{n}
= \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i}^{n} X_i$$
denote their mean. Then as $n$ approaches infinity, the random variables $\sqrt{n}(S_n - \mu)$ converge in distribution to a normal $\mathcal{N}(0, \sigma^2)$.

\begin{frame}{Eddie shows two columns technique}

\begin{column}{0.6\textwidth}
\begin{itemize}
\item This is cleanest way of putting text beside
pictures.
\pause\medskip
\item Also illustrating {\tt pause} for reveals --- I
use this only sparingly
\pause\medskip
\item We need a convention on scaling of included SCRATCH graphics. Here: source image obtained by screen grabbing from desktop SCRATCH 1.4. Hopefully this is consistent across OS etc.!
\medskip
\item The scaling here is mega-generous - for consideration.
\end{itemize}
% NB \smallskip, \medskip, \bigskip much better for
% consistency than explicit spaces
