I try to insert a picture using the code below

\usepackage{pgf}

\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=2.5in]{image/Test}
\caption{Example TA}
\label{fig:Reinforcement}
\end{figure}

However, the error says Missing $ inserted; may someone help me?

    Don't quite see how you get that error message form the given code snippet. But, while code snippets are useful in explanations, it is always best to compose a fully compilable MWE that illustrates the problem including the \documentclass and the appropriate packages so that those trying to help don't have to recreate it. – Peter Grill Nov 15 '12 at 03:38

    Please add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. It is considered a lot better to put in some code that will compile, as it makes it a lot easier for us to copy it into our text editor and work with it, and see exactly what it is you are trying to do. – Werner Nov 15 '12 at 03:38
  • I don't know what the pgf is for. Usually \usepackage{graphicx} is used for JPEGs and pictures in general. – Christian Nov 15 '12 at 14:11

To end this I include here a complete MWE that compiles without errors (notice, that the used figure is part of package MWE you should have installed but must not be loaded). It contains everything needed to print a figure in LaTeX:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}%                 use [hb] only if necceccary!
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=10cm]{example-image-a}
  \caption{test figure}
  \label{fig:test}
\end{figure}

\end{document}
