presentation  
ppt
This page displays a number of my powerpoint presentations, which I particularly likee. I write powerpoints as part of the process of constructing a paper. Sometimes, the structure for a ppt becomes the structure for the paper, other times, it is just a refreshing way to do something more creativee. I have tried to be experimental with ppt since my very first conference presentation.
