\section{Fundamental Theorem of Calculus}
If $f$ is continuous on the closed interval $[a,b]$ and $F$ is the indefinite integral of $f$ on $[a,b]$, then
\begin{equation}
\int_a^b f(x)\,\mathrm{d}x = F(b)-F(a).
\end{equation}

% Note that \bottomboxlogo takes an optional width argument. It defaults to the following:
% \hfill\bottomboxlogo[width=\textwidth]{<path_to_image_file>}
% where \textwidth is actually the width of a minipage which is defined in the \bottombox command of
% betterportaitposter.cls It's a standard \includegraphics command in there, so easy to change if
