Preventing autosized brackets from including underbraces

Somehow I don't see this problem (see attachment).
Yes, you're right, the \Bigg brackets are okay here. Originally I use the fourier package where they are not large enough. I should have checked that before and included it in the mwe.

A variation of Stefan's idea could look like shown below ...

Preventing autosized brackets from including underbraces

How can I prevent the autosized brackets from including the underbrace in the following example?
\documentclass{scrreprt}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\begin{align*}
s \in \left[\underbrace{b - b \sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{\gamma}}}_{< 0}; \quad b + b \sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{\gamma}}\right].
\end ...

Different Vertical alignment for each column in a table?

Hi, I want to create a table with three columns, the text in the left column should be aligned on top, the right column on the bottom. The center column is stretched so that the whole table fits the page width. How can I do this? I tried the following:
\documentclass{scrreprt}
\usepackage{tabularx ...

Do you always prefer autosized brackets?

This is not so much a technical question but more a typographic one: Do you always use \left( and \right) instead of just ()? Or are there exceptions when smaller brackets are preferable?

For example using the autosized brackets in the following example looks pretty strange or is it just me ...

Re: Number each row in an array?

Wow, that's a nice trick! However, I don't want to create my own equation numbers but use the built-in numbering -- just as if these equations stood in an {align}-environment instead of an array.

Number each row in an array?

I would like to number each (or at least some) row in an array-environment. How can I do this?

The reason why I'm not using a align-environment is that I want to have the top- and bottomrules of the booktabs class. Maybe there is another solution?

My working example (note that the array as a whole ...

alignat environment with no top/bottom margins

I would like to have my alignat environment to have no top and bottom margins. I found the following solution for the standard align environment which does exactly what I want:

\makeatletter
\newenvironment{myalign*}{%
\setlength{\mathindent}{0pt}%
\setlength{\abovedisplayskip}{-\baselineskip ...
