Presentation Slides using Latex

Prosper is a wonderful latex package for creating Presentations.

I came across it in my search to do away with retyping my equations written in Latex again in a presentation software "aware" format(or whatever that means). Later, I found that it can help in things more than just saving some typing and lot of mouse usage. The philosophical, but very practical, advantages in creating Documents using Latex vs WYSIWYG editors continue with Prosper vs PowerPoint kind of software.

Check out this presentation on Google PageRank example (compatible with Acoread 4+). Tarred-and-Zipped source files of the presentation is available here (tar.gz). The README file in the extracted directory has notes on compiling the code in latex using the Makefile

For more info on prosper, refer to the tutorial here

PS: The presentation slides, I linked from here also briefly explain the Math behind Google PageRank Algorithm.
