Compiler is yelling at me for a dollar sign I can't find. Do you guys see it at all or have any other options for how to express in-line math equations in problem statements? Thanks in advance.

I was curious to see what this looked like so I followed @peter-grill's advice, and the updated code runs fine:

\setlength{\headheight}{65pt}
\newenvironment{problem}[2][Problem]{\begin{trivlist}
\item[\hskip \labelsep {\bfseries #1}\hskip \labelsep {\bfseries #2.}]}{\end{trivlist}}
\newenvironment{sol}

%Copy the following block of text for each problem in the assignment.
\begin{problem}{1.2.11} 
Find the general solution of the system whose augmented matrix is given below.

\[
\quad
\begin{bmatrix}
3 & -4 & 2 & 0 \\
-9 & 12 & -6 & 0 \\
-6 & 8 & -4 & 0 \\

\end{problem}


\begin{sol}


\end{sol}


\begin{problem}{1.3.25}
Let \[A = \begin{bmatrix}

 \[\begin{bmatrix}

4 \\

\end{bmatrix}.\]

Denote the columns of $A$ by \textbf{$a_1$},\textbf{$a_2$},\textbf{$a_3$}, and let $W$ = \textrm{Span}\{\textbf{$a_1$},\textbf{$a_2$},\textbf{$a_3$}\}.
