\section{Introduction}

\begin{frame}{\LaTeX\ and Overleaf}
\begin{itemize}
  \item LaTeX is a Typesetting Programming Language
  \item Overleaf is a Web Application to manage \LaTeX\ documents in the cloud
  \begin{itemize}
    \item collaborate easier
    \item save headaches (about saving)
  \end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Typesetting }
\begin{itemize}
  \item What is \texttt{Typesetting}?
  \item What are some of the struggles of typesetting for academic work?
  \item What are some of the unique concerns of typesetting for homework?
\end{itemize}

\subsection{Tables and Figures}

\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}
\caption{\label{tab:widgets}An example table.}
\end{table}

\end{frame}

\subsection{Mathematics and Math Mode}
\begin{frame}{Mathematics and Math Mode}
\begin{itemize}
\item Entering math mode with \$
\item Common Math formatting
\item  \$\ and \$\$\ and using an environment
\item Formatting and Styling inside Math Mode
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}


\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 $\mathcal{N}(0, \sigma^2)$.
