Hello all, I have created a PDF presentation using LateX. I want to add my commentary on the slides by recording my explanation using a mic and mark some parts of the slides while I am commenting, at least to be able to point where I want using the cursor. How can I do that? Thanks

Ok folks, I've taken a stab at the Latex thing (for the first time, so please bear with me). I've mentioned before that I'm teaching myself relativity and tensors, and I've come across a question. I have a few different books that I'm referencing, and I've seen them present the ordinary...

I'm going to do a presentation for one of my classes in college. I'm interviewing a chemical engineer who received a Bachelors Degree in Environmental Science first, then went on to get his Bachelors and Masters in chemical engineering. How should I list this in a Power Point presentation?

Hi all! I am a first year BS-MS student and I need to make a presentation on a paper or a review article from a primary reference journal. The broad topic is particle physics. I searched on Physical Review D, Nature and Science but couldn't get anything which was not too mathematical...

If we commonly draw a distribution of data, we should be careful to chose appropriate classes, for instance, 1-2, 4 2-3, 6 3-4, 11 etc. But, if we draw a cumulative distribution, classes are not necessary. For instance 1-2, 4 2-3, 10 3-4, 21 and still better: 1, 1 1.3, 2 1.4, 3 1.9, 4...

Hi, I wanted to make a powerpoint-like presentation for myself, simply for self study. I figured I'd experiment with some of the animation features to see whether it would have a positive impact on my rate of study. However, I don't have Microsoft office (thus powerpoint) on my current...

I'm curious how scientists make such pretty presentations. I've used Microsoft Powerpoint for all of my presentations since middle school. But my powerpoints lack the style I notice in many academic presentations. There seems to be a standard format on which I am missing out. See, for...

Is there a general algorithm for taking the presentation of a group and get the permutation generators for the subgroup of A(S) to which the group is isomorphic? For example, given x^5=y^4=e, xy=f(c^2) how do I find (12345) and (1243), the permutations corresponding to x and y? BTW, the example...

Hello. I have been looking at some questions from old exams that I am preparing for, and I have some trouble with the kind of problems that I will now give an example of. Homework Statement Let G = (a,b,c | a^4 = 1, b^2 = a^2, bab^{-1} = a^{-1}, c^3 = 1, cac^{-1} = b, cbc^{-1} = ab)...

Hello all. I'm doing a small presentation on Chirality in my Chemistry class. As the teacher knows I'm really more of a physics/math kid, he said it was okay if I did my presentation on chirality in physics instead of the molecular stuff most people are doing. I knew a bunch before, and I've...

Suppose you've just established the existence of time dilation using Einstein's 1905 postulates and the light clock. Is there any nice, easy way to go on and prove length contraction? Here are a couple of incorrect arguments that I've been guilty of using in the past: Symmetry: The Lorentz...
