% TITLE SLIDE
%---------------------------------------------------------
\section{}
\begin{frame}
\titlepage % Output the title slide, automatically created using the text entered in the PRESENTATION INFORMATION block above
\end{frame}
%---------------------------------------------------------
% TABLE OF CONTENTS SLIDE
%---------------------------------------------------------
% The table of contents outputs the sections and subsections that appear in your presentation, specified with the standard \section and \subsection commands. You may either display all sections and subsections on one slide with \tableofcontents, or display each section at a time on subsequent slides with \tableofcontents[pausesections]. The latter is useful if you want to step through each section and mention what you will discuss.
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Table of Contents} % Slide title, remove this command for no title
\tableofcontents % Output the table of contents (all sections on one slide)
%\tableofcontents[pausesections] % Output the table of contents (break sections up across separate slides)
\end{frame}
%---------------------------------------------------------
% PRESENTATION BODY SLIDES
%---------------------------------------------------------
\section{Motivation} % Sections are added in order to organize your presentation into discrete blocks, all sections and subsections are automatically output to the table of contents as an overview of the talk but NOT output in the presentation as separate slides
%------------------------------------------------
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Title}
\emph{To use this template, you can copy and just edit/add slides!}\newline
This is because all the color customization occurs in the "Customize Themes" section in lines 12-51 of the code\newline
The remainder of these slides serve an example to show all the features you can use: bullets, buttons, sections, etc.
\end{frame}

\frametitle{Another Title}
\framesubtitle{and a subtitle!}
Look at the code of this slide to see how columns made this formatting look nice.
\begin{columns}[t] % The "c" option specifies centered vertical alignment while the "t" option is used for top vertical alignment
