\begin{block}{Introduction}
The \textbf{UVT Conference Poster Theme} is a modern theme based on
\texttt{beamerposter} that uses the official
\textcolor{UVTLightBlue}{UVT branding}\footnote{\url{https://dci.uvt.ro/identitate-vizuala}}. Some
of its elements and styling are inspired by \textcolor{UVTLightBlue}{Gemini}
theme\footnote{\url{https://github.com/anishathalye/gemini/}}.
It comes with a few nifty features:
\begin{itemize}
\item Use of the official color scheme for UVT throughout.
\item Customized block environments.
\item Easy to extend and modify separate parts (header, fonts, etc).
\end{itemize}
Separate parts are available as e.g. \texttt{\textbackslash usecolortheme\{uvtposter\}}!
To use it in you documents add something like the following
{
\centering
\begin{lstlisting}[language=TeX]
\documentclass[final]{beamer}
% 1. The theme supports different sizes, e.g. a0, a1, ...
% 2. It can also be viewed in "landscape" or "portrait" mode
\usetheme[size=a1,orientation=landscape]{uvtposter}
% 3. You can select other color schemes or box types
\usecolortheme{uvtposter}
\end{lstlisting}
}
\end{block}
\begin{block}{Colors and Fonts}
This theme uses the \emph{TeX Gyre Heros} font. This is a clean \emph{sans serif}
open source font with a heavy Helvetica inspiration. The official UVT branding
recommends using the \emph{Helvetica Now Display} font, if available.
The theme has three standard colors:
\begin{itemize}
\item A nice \textcolor{UVTLightBlue}{\textbf{light blue}} (\texttt{UVTLightBlue}).
\item A bolder \textcolor{UVTDarkBlue}{\textbf{dark blue}} (\texttt{UVTDarkBlue}).
\item An attention grabbing \textcolor{UVTPosterYellow}{\textbf{yellow}}
(\texttt{UVTPosterYellow})!
\item Variants \texttt{color!x} can also be used to darken or lighten them
\end{itemize}
These can be used for emphasizing \textcolor{UVTLightBlue}{text} or for
more obvious \alert{alerts}. Standard \textbf{bold} and \textit{italic} emphasis
can of course also be used!
\end{block}
\begin{alertblock}{Lists, enumerations, and descriptions}
\heading{Lists}
\begin{itemize}
\item Itemize lists are nicely customized ...
\begin{itemize}
\item All the way down ...
\begin{itemize}
\item To the third level!
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\heading{Enumerate}
\begin{enumerate}
\item We can also enumerate!
\item Many things!
\item It's great!
\end{enumerate}
\heading{Description}
\begin{description}
\item[UVT] And describe our university in exquisite detail, so that we
can capture all its multiline greatness!
\end{description}
\end{alertblock}
\end{column}

\begin{block}{Environments}
We have various standard environments styled in a pleasing fashion. For example,
you can give quotes using
\begin{quote}
``When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.''
\end{quote}
You can also define some basic theorems:
\begin{theorem}[Existence \& Uniqueness]
Our theorem exists and is unique.
\end{theorem}
\end{block}
\begin{block}{Figures}
You can also add figures to each block.
\begin{figure}
\begin{tikzpicture}
% Draw axes
\draw [<->,thick] (0,2) node (yaxis) [above] {$y$}
|- (3,0) node (xaxis) [right] {$x$};
% Draw two intersecting lines
\draw (0,0) coordinate (a_1) -- (2,1.8) coordinate (a_2);
\draw (0,1.5) coordinate (b_1) -- (2.5,0) coordinate (b_2);
% Calculate the intersection of the lines a_1 -- a_2 and b_1 -- b_2
% and store the coordinate in c.
\coordinate (c) at (intersection of a_1--a_2 and b_1--b_2);
% Draw lines indicating intersection with y and x axis. Here we use
% the perpendicular coordinate system
\draw[dashed] (yaxis |- c) node[left] {$y'$}
-| (xaxis -| c) node[below] {$x'$};
% Draw a dot to indicate intersection point
\fill[UVTPosterYellow] (c) circle (2pt);
\end{tikzpicture}
\caption{A simple figure.}
\end{figure}
These should be used quite extensively to better make your point. This is
a visual sort of medium after all!
\end{block}
\begin{block}{Tables}
\begin{table}
\centering
\caption{Largest cities in the world (source: UN 2018 population estimates
from Wikipedia)}
\begin{tabular}{@{} lr @{}}
\toprule
City & Population\\
\midrule
Tokyo & 37,468,000 \\

Shanghai & 25,582,000 \\
São Paolo & 21,650,000 \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
Tables are also a good way to display data. Using the \texttt{booktabs}
package should make your tables look very nice indeed!

\begin{exampleblock}{Example: Infinite Primes}
Imagine that there were only a limited number of prime numbers, and we could
list them as \(p_1, p_2, \ldots, p_n\). Now, consider the number formed by
multiplying all these primes together and then adding one, that is,
\[
N = p_1 \times p_2 \times \cdots \times p_n + 1.
\]
If you try to divide this new number \(N\) by any of the primes on your list,
you always get a remainder of 1. This means that none of the primes
\(p_1, p_2, \ldots, p_n\) can be a divisor of \(N\). Since every number
greater than 1 must have a prime factor, \(N\) must either be a prime
itself or be divisible by a prime that was not in our original list.
This simple observation shows that no matter how many primes you start with,
you can always construct a number that reveals at least one additional prime,
proving that there are infinitely many prime numbers.
\end{exampleblock}
\begin{exampleblock}{Example: Grönwall Inequality}
Suppose you have a nonnegative function \(u(t)\) that satisfies an inequality
of the form
\[
u(t) \le a + \int_{t_0}^t b(s)\, u(s) \dx[s],
\]
where \(a \ge 0\) is a constant and \(b(t) \ge 0\) is a given function. The
idea behind the inequality is that even though \(u(t)\) might depend on its
past values through the integral, its growth is controlled by the accumulation
of the function \(b(t)\).
To see how this control works, define an auxiliary function
\[
v(t) = a + \int_{t_0}^t b(s)\, u(s) \dx[s].
\]
Since \(u(t) \le v(t)\), differentiate \(v(t)\) with respect to \(t\) to obtain
\[
v'(t) = b(t)\, u(t) \le b(t)\, v(t).
\]
Dividing both sides by \(v(t)\) (which is positive) gives
\[
\frac{v'(t)}{v(t)} \le b(t).
\]
Integrating this inequality from \(t_0\) to \(t\) and exponentiating yields
\[
v(t) \le v(t_0) \exp\!\left(\int_{t_0}^t b(s)\, \dx[s]\right).
\]
Since \(v(t_0)=a\) and \(u(t) \le v(t)\), we conclude that
\[
u(t) \le a\, \exp\!\left(\int_{t_0}^t b(s)\, \dx[s]\right).
\]
This simple argument shows that if the function \(u(t)\) satisfies the original
integral inequality, then its value at any time \(t\) is bounded above by an
exponential function determined by the integral of \(b(t)\); this is precisely
the statement of the integral Grönwall inequality.
