How to write nice equations in LaTeX beamer

The equations in the default beamer presentation slides are rather unattractive.
In my opinion this is merely because of the fonts used for equations.

You can change it by changing the font-theme for equations.

 \usefonttheme[onlymath]{serif}

 This will result equations like in the articles in your beamer presentation.

For further hints check out this post.

Placing a figure here, I said right here!

 Sometimes the LaTeX engine decides not to insert the figure exactly where we want, and we want it right there. Well [h] or [h!] were the options I have tried so far, but they do not work well all the time, however if the figure is inserted with [H] option, the engine will not decide differently, even if next page or other things would ruin the layout, so I suggest to use
\begin{figure}[H]
...
\end{figure}

Writing today's date

Nothing could be more simple than writing the today's date, for instance into a title page. You only have to include:

\today


Spell check an entire project

It is not easy to deal with a large project including several .tex files. Sometimes I need to spell-check all files manually. Here is a solution, however it would be better to integrate this into an editor, like kile

Missing abstract in scrreprt

I have just started writing my thesis, and I noticed that the title for the abstract is not spelled out. Well, as it seems, the abstract has to be explicitly switched on with scrreprt class using the abstracton option.
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt, abstracton]{scrreprt}
