I just learned that beamer loads amsmath and graphicx packages automatically, what other packages does it load?

I almost always load microtype. It plays with ever-so-slightly shrinking and stretching of the fonts and with the extent to which text protrudes into the margins in a way that yields results that look better, that have fewer instances of hyphenation, and fewer overfull hboxes. It doesn't work with latex, you have to use pdflatex instead. It also works with lualatex and (protrusion only) with xelatex.
Most of the answer was extracted from the Introduction sections of the documentation of amsmath and amsthm:
amsmathprovides miscellaneous enhancements for improving the information structure and printed output of documents containing mathematical formulas. Some of the features provided by this package are:
- The
\DeclareMathOperatorcommand (through the auxiliary packageamsopn) to define new "operator name" commands analogous to\sinand\lim, including proper side spacing and automatic selection of the correct font style and size (even when used in sub- or superscripts). - Multiple substitutes for the
eqnarrayenvironment to make various kinds of equation arrangements easier to write. - Equation numbers automatically adjust up or down to avoid overprinting
on the equation contents (unlike
eqnarray). - Spacing around equals signs matches the normal spacing in the
equationenvironment (unlikeeqnarray). - A way to produce multiline subscripts as are often used with summation or product symbols.
- The
tagcommand, an easy way to substitute a variant equation number for a given equation instead of the automatically supplied number. - An easy way to produce subordinate equation numbers of the form (1.3a) (1.3b) (1.3c) for selected groups of equations.
- The
\textcommand (through the auxiliary packageamstext) for typesetting a fragment of text inside a display. - The
eqrefcommand, which provides formatting for equation references
amsthmhelps to define theorem-like structures; the introduction to the documentation gives a nice concise description of the package:
The
amsthmpackage provides an enhanced version of LaTeX's\newtheoremcommand for defining theorem-like environments. The enhanced\newtheoremrecognizes a\theoremstylespecification (as in Mittelbach'stheorempackage) and has a*form for defining unnumbered environments. Theamsthmpackage also defines aproofenvironment that automatically adds a QED symbol at the end. AMS document classes incorporate theamsthmpackage, so everything described here applies to them as well.If the
amsthmpackage is used with a non-AMS document class and with theamsmathpackage,amsthmmust be loaded afteramsmath, not before.
amssymbprovides an extended symbol collection. For example, after loadingamssymbyou have the following additional binary relation symbols:\barwedge,\boxdot,\boxminus,\boxplus,\boxtimes,\Cap,\Cup(and many more), the arrow\leadsto, and some other symbols such as\Boxand\Diamond. Another useful feature is the\mathbbcommand to produce blackboard bold characters
Since amssymb internally loads amsfonts, it's enough to load the former.
As far as I know, there's not a single package loading amsmath, amsthm, and amssymb so all three of them will have to be loaded when using the standard classes (book, report, article).
If one of the document classes of the AMS-collection (amsbook, amsart) is being used, there's no need to load amsmath, or amsthm; amssymb will have to be explicitly loaded.

Just add
\listfilesto the preamble, then you will get a list in your log file: Note,beamerloads packages which then load other packages.The output will look like, depending on the
