Trying to align equal signs and get an error message saying
missing } inserted
I can't figure out what I've done wrong?
\begin{align}
($b^nn^\alpha$)$^{-1}$=\large$\frac{a^n}{n^\alpha}$
$\geq\frac{a^n}{n^p}$
\end{align}

It seems to me, as you should read some introductory material to LaTeX (see also this).
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\begin{document}
\begin{align}
(b^n n^\alpha)^{-1}
&= \frac{a^n}{n^\alpha} \\
&\geq\frac{a^n}{n^p}
\end{align}
\end{document}

$) inside an equation. – Johannes_B Dec 03 '15 at 16:28$ ... $around individual units elsewhere, either. In LaTeX we treat a mathematical expression/equation/etc. as a single unit and it should all go in math mode, with any text or anything else marked up as such. But it'd be super important to have, in general,$(b^nn^\alpha)^{-1}=\large\frac{a^n}{n^\alpha}$(withinalign, which already puts you in math mode, you must not have the$ ... $). This treats the maths appropriately and will automatically handle things like correct spacing around the = sign – Au101 Dec 03 '15 at 16:37\dfrac, rather than\large, or - in general - to be in a display math environment – Au101 Dec 03 '15 at 16:37=symbol in the entire expression. Please edit either the title or the body of the posting to provide more consistency. – Mico Dec 03 '15 at 17:45
