In a display-equation environment I can't get the cases environment to work properly, unless I just use the first column.
I get the error: Misplaced alignment tab character &. s & s\end{cases}$ I can't figure out why you would want to use a tab mark here. If you just want an ampersand, the remedy is simple: Just type `I\&' now. But if some right brace up above has ended a previous alignment prematurely, you're probably due for more error messages, and you might try typing `S' now just to see what is salvageable. Furthermore, if I just use the left column, then it is displayed all on one line. Has someone got this to do anything useful? Sam
