Indention: Disable (Globally)

Question

Problem

Given the beamer class.

Can I remove indention globally?

\setlength{\parindent}{0em} didn't work out.

Example

Here's a minimal example:

\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\visible<1->{
Some formula:
$$a^2+b^2=c^2$$}
\visible<2->{
More formulas:
$$z=a+ib=re^{i\phi}$$
Some text.}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

bemaer doesn't indent text by default. Can you provide a simple document showing this indentation you want to suppress? — Gonzalo Medina, Sep 04 '15 at 02:16
@GonzaloMedina: Oh so it might be hidden a some template I loaded. Unfortunately, it will be hard to track back where. Is it possible to set it manually? — C-star-W-star, Sep 04 '15 at 02:24
It depends on what the settings in that template are. Can you provide a link to the template? — Gonzalo Medina, Sep 04 '15 at 02:25

Beware of superfluous empty spaces (a line break in the code tantamount to a blank space); I commented out those spaces below:

\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\visible<1->{%
Some formula:
\[a^2+b^2=c^2\]
}%
\visible<2->{%
More formulas:
\[z=a+ib=re^{i\phi}\]
Some text.}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

By the way, don't use $$...$$ in LaTeX documents; use \[...\] instead; see Why is \[ ... \] preferable to $$ ... $$?.

When exactly do I need to take care of these? If it ends with { or }? – C-star-W-star Sep 04 '15 at 02:39

In your case, following the open brace for an argument or right after the closing brace of an argument. – Gonzalo Medina Sep 04 '15 at 02:41
And what about the lines in between? – C-star-W-star Sep 04 '15 at 02:44
@Freeze_S Which lines in between? Do you mean one or more blank lines in the code? In that case, there's no problem since in text mode they tantamount to \par (ending a paragraph.) – Gonzalo Medina Sep 04 '15 at 02:48
For example the lines \[a^2+b^2=c^2\] and \[z=a+ib=re^{i\phi}\]? – C-star-W-star Sep 04 '15 at 03:06
@Freeze_S There you don't need special care since \[...\] and displayed environments for maths begin and end their own paragraphs. – Gonzalo Medina Sep 04 '15 at 03:24
Aha is it like if I would whyever start with \[a^2+b^2=c^2 and end this in a new line with \] then I'll need a %? – C-star-W-star Sep 04 '15 at 03:26
@Freeze_S No; under normal circumstances in environments for displayed maths that is not necessary. (The only precaution there is not to leave blank lines: leaving a blank line between c^2 and the closing \] will trigger an error). – Gonzalo Medina Sep 04 '15 at 03:34

@Freeze_S perhaps this can be useful: http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/7453/3954. – Gonzalo Medina Sep 04 '15 at 03:43
Didn't got all of it but a little. Thanks!! :) – C-star-W-star Sep 04 '15 at 03:48
