In particular, I used beamer for this talk. prospero and its successor powerdot are also respected but beamer seems to be the best. Recently beamer has been installed on coxeter.

This guide will help you to start using LATEX in a very easy way. The structure of the guide is as follows. In the remaining of this section we explain what is LATEX more specifically and what do you need in order to use it. 1.1 Why LATEX? LATEX has some competitors in the world of typesetting systems and text proces- sors. Why should we use LATEX then? LATEX is different from typical word processors because it has another philos- ophy. These standard processors are of the WYSIWYG type, that is, what you see is what you get. Instead, LATEX is considered as WYSIWYM, what you see is what you mean. For example, when you want to insert a title in a standard word processor, you have to select the text, center it and format everything. With LATEX you just have to indicate that the text is a title. It will format everything for you. The advantage of WYSIWYG-type programs is that they are meant to be more user friendly because you can see in your screen exactly what is going to be printed in your printer.
