Re: strugglign to embed math symbols in a table

 I see no severe errors in your log.
It looks like paragraph width is small tp contain your text.
Underfulls and overfulls occur in many documents but are of no danger.
Usually the problem is solved by manual re-arrangement and splitting
the guilty lines and correcting box / paragraph width.
