Adding equations in your PowerPoint slide is a powerful way to present and communicate mathematical, scientific, and technical information to your audiences. Most people don’t add equations because it may appear like a complicated process or even unnecessary. However, putting in the effort to add an equation can make a big difference. And although some users may find this process cumbersome, it’s quite easy once you do so a few times.

To learn more, choose your version of PowerPoint. If we do not have a tutorial for your version of PowerPoint, explore the version closest to the one you use.

Most charting books fall into two categories. They are about charting design and charting techniques. Books within the first category look at charting, so as to how a particular chart will help people understand a difficult concept. They also look at design principles and best practices. Books within the second category look at the actual steps and techniques you need to explore to create those charts. There are a few books in this category that look at how charts can be created within Microsoft Excel, and almost no book is available similarly for PowerPoint, but that’s OK since Excel powers the charting engine within PowerPoint as well.
