LaTeX forum ⇒ Presentations and Posters ⇒ Problem with mathematicals environment and Beamer Topic is solved

[Mojert]

Hello everyone !

I'm doing a presentation for my school and have an issue. Here is my code:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] ({untitled.tex}) Open in Overleaf

\documentclass[10pt]{beamer}
\usetheme{Warsaw}
 
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{mathrsfs}
 
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
	\frametitle{Centre of mass}
	\begin{columns}[c]
		\begin{column}{.5\textwidth}
			\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{Images/05-12.jpg}
		\end{column}
		\begin{column}{.5\textwidth}
			\begin{align*}
				\vec{r}_{CM} &= \frac{m_1 \vec{r}_1 + m_2 \vec{r}_2 + \dots + m_n \vec{r}_n}{m_1 + m_2 + \dots + m_n} \\
 
				CM_x &= \frac{m_1 x_1 + m_2 x_2 + \dots + m_n x_n}{m_1 + m_2 + \dots + m_n}
			\end{align*}
		\end{column}
	\end{columns}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Pdflatex returns me those error messages:
! Paragraph ended before \align* was complete.
<to be read again>
\par
l.167 \end{frame}

I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this
control sequence to too much text. How can we recover?
My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best.

! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>

I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think
you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.

! Missing \endgroup inserted.
<inserted text>
\endgroup
l.167 \end{frame}

I've inserted something that you may have forgotten.
(See the <inserted text> above.)
With luck, this will get me unwedged. But if you
really didn't forget anything, try typing `2' now; then
my insertion and my current dilemma will both disappear.

! Display math should end with $$.
<to be read again>
\par
l.167 \end{frame}

The `$' that I just saw supposedly matches a previous `$$'.
So I shall assume that you typed `$$' both times.

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.

! Misplaced \cr.
\math@cr@@@ ->\cr

l.167 \end{frame}

I can't figure out why you would want to use a tab mark
or \cr or \span just now. If something like a 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.

! Misplaced \noalign.
\math@cr@@ ... \iffalse }\fi \math@cr@@@ \noalign
{\vskip #1\relax }
l.167 \end{frame}

I expect to see \noalign only after the \cr of
an alignment. Proceed, and I'll ignore this case.

I've deleted a group-closing symbol because it seems to be
spurious, as in `$x}$'. But perhaps the } is legitimate and
you forgot something else, as in `\hbox{$x}'. In such cases
the way to recover is to insert both the forgotten and the
deleted material, e.g., by typing `I$}'.

Thank you very much for your help!
If you need anything else, don't hesitate to ask.
P.S.: I'm not a native so please forgive my mistakes.

Empty lines are not allowed in an align environment. Put a percent sign at the beggining of those lines.

Thank you very much for your help, I highly appreciate it !
