The above contains the preamble.

Consider putting in title.tex:

\[dupthresh = D\cdot[1+log(n)]\]

= does not appear.

A minimal example would be as follows:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fouriernc}
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\begin{document}
$a=b$
\end{document}

why specify \usepackage{enumitem} three times (and enumerate which is incompatible with that) — David Carlisle, Nov 23 '15 at 15:37
you have posted a very long code section which no one can run as it references \input{frontmatter/title} that we don't have, and it has no examples of math which is the subject of the question? Please fix the example to be an example of the problem, preferably removing all lines that are unrelated. — David Carlisle, Nov 23 '15 at 15:38
@DavidCarlisle yes, i should clear that. Anyways, I can't idenify my problem, please help. — ferrer, Nov 23 '15 at 15:39
@ferrer You could easily isolate your problem by creating a minimal working example (MWE). — Henri Menke, Nov 23 '15 at 15:39
Given that no = symbol appears to be present in the code you've posted, it's not possible to diagnose the situation properly, let alone propose a remedy. — Mico, Nov 23 '15 at 15:40
@ferrer first you should make it reasonable for anyone to try to help by posting an example of the problem also don't load etex or fixltx2e in current latex releases and newlfont in any latex since the 1990's. — David Carlisle, Nov 23 '15 at 15:41
Here's a correct MWE: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{fouriernc} \usepackage{mathptmx} \begin{document} $x=x$ \end{document} — cgnieder, Nov 23 '15 at 15:41
It is always best for a new document to start with loading no packages and then just add packages if you need them. It is clear from this preamble that it just loads multiple packages multiple times, so such clashes are not unexpected. — David Carlisle, Nov 23 '15 at 15:44
@DavidCarlisle I put the equation. There is no = sign appearing. — ferrer, Nov 23 '15 at 15:46
just don't load both fourierenc and mathptm. Also are you really using a legacy apple encoding rather than a standard encoding \usepackage[applemac]{inputenc} ? (and why is graphicx loaded three times (none of which is needed as it is loaded by rotating`)? — David Carlisle, Nov 23 '15 at 15:47

The particular error is that the document loads two incompatible redefinitions of math mode, fouriernc and mathptmx but more generally the preamble loads multiple packages many of them three or four times, and most of them unneeded as the already extensive memoir class is used as base. It also loads newlfont, etex, fixltx2e which shouldn't be used with current releases. (newlfont should only ever have been used to work with documents from before latex2e was released in 1993). The preamble also defined \cleardoublepage twice, with different definitions, and specifies \usepackage[applemac]{inputenc} which is unlikely to be the encoding used by modern text editors, even on a Mac.

My recommendation would be to change the document to start

\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}

then only add more packages if you need them.
