Preamble in this document:
\ documentclass { beamer } % Default = " sans " option

Example:

p(R, φ) ∼ p  dγ
−∞ (k 2 a2 − γ 2 )3/4 H 0 (1)

Miss-matches with CMR math symbols!

Math: Euler VM math (by [mathserif] option)
Preamble in this document:

Example:

Z ∞ W̃n (γ) exp ıR/a

h p i

Preamble in this document:
\ documentclass [ serif ]{ beamer } % " serif " option for CMR

Example:

Who is going to use CMR in presentation? Should be

avoided!

Preamble in this document:
“ documentclass – beamer ˝ % No options
“ usepackage – cmbright ˝

Example:

Is ‘cmbright’ too thin?
