(Titling) Why do figures and math squish my title, author and date?

Question

It seems that when trying to add math or figures to a doc, all 3 get squished. It makes documents look unconsistent, and I'm wondering if there is a fix for this.

        The Sum and Difference Identities

        \begin{gather}
            \cos(\alpha - \beta) = \cos(\alpha)\cos(\beta) + \sin(\alpha)\sin(\beta)\\
            \cos(\alpha + \beta) = \cos(\alpha)\cos(\beta) - \sin(\alpha)\sin(\beta)\\
            \sin(\alpha + \beta) = \sin(\alpha)\cos(\beta) + \cos(\alpha)\sin(\beta)\\
            \sin(\alpha - \beta) = \sin(\alpha)\cos(\beta) - \cos(\alpha)\sin(\beta)
        \end{gather} 

\textbf{Example 1:} Evaluating a Trigonometric Function \newline

    A. Find the exact value of $\displaystyle \sin\left(\dfrac{\pi}{12}\right)$

    \begin{align}
        \frac{\pi}{12} &= \frac{4\pi}{12} - \frac{3\pi}{2}\\
        &= ~ \frac{\pi}{3} ~~~~~~~\frac{\pi}{4}
    \end{align}

    \begin{align}
        &\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{12}\right) = \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3} - \frac{\pi}{4}\right)\\
        &= \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) - \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\\
        &= \left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) \left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) - \left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)\\
        &= \frac{\sqrt{6}}{4} - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} = \frac{\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{2}}{4}
    \end{align}

    B. Find the exact value of $\cos(\ang{75}).$   

    \begin{align}
        &\cos(\overset{\alpha}{\ang{30}} + \overset{\beta}{\ang{45}})\\
        &= \cos(\ang{30})\cos(\ang{45})-\sin(\ang{30})\sin(\ang{45})\\
        &= \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) \left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) - \left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)\\
        &= \frac{\sqrt{6}}{4} - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} = \frac{\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{2}}{4}
    \end{align}

\textbf{Example 2}: Proving a Cofunction Identity \newline

    Use a difference formula to prove the cofunction identity:

    \begin{gather}   
    \cos \left(\frac{\pi}{2} - x\right) = \sin(x) 
    \end{gather}

    \begin{align}
        \cos \left(\frac{\pi}{2} - x\right) &= \cos \overset{0}{\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)} \cos(x) + \sin \overset{1}{\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)} \sin(x)\\
        &= 0 \ast \cos(x) + 1 \ast \sin(x)\\
        &= \sin(x)
    \end{align}

\textbf{Example 3:} Solve

    \[
    \sin\overset{\alpha}{(x)}\sin\overset{\beta}{(2x)} + \cos\overset{\alpha}{(x)}\cos\overset{\beta}{(2x)} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} 
    \]

            Recall: $\cos(-x) = \cos(x)$    

    \begin{align}
        \cos (x - 2x) &= \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\\
        &\cos (-x) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\\
        &\cos x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\\
        &x = \frac{\pi}{6} + 2 \pi k\\
        &x = \frac{11 \pi}{6} + 2 \pi k
    \end{align}

        The Product to Sum Identities

        \begin{gather}
            \sin(\alpha)\cos(\beta) = \frac{1}{2}(\sin(\alpha + \beta) + \sin(\alpha - \beta))\\
            \sin(\alpha)\cos(\beta) = \frac{1}{2}(\cos(\alpha - \beta) + \cos(\alpha + \beta))\\
            \cos(\alpha)\cos(\beta) = \frac{1}{2}(\cos(\alpha + \beta) + \cos(\alpha - \beta))
        \end{gather}

\textbf{Example 4:} Write $\sin\overset{\alpha}{(2t)}\sin\overset{\beta}{(4t)}$ as a sum or difference

        \begin{align}
            &= \frac{1}{2}(\cos(2t - 4t) - \cos(2t + 4t))\\
            &= \frac{1}{2}(\cos(-2t) - \cos (6t))\\
            &= \frac{1}{2} (\cos(2t) - \cos (6t))
        \end{align}

        The Sum to Product Identities

        \begin{align}
            \sin(u) + \sin(v) = 2\sin\left(\frac{u + v}{2}\right)\cos
            \left(\frac{u - v}{2}\right)\\
            \sin(u) - \sin(v) = 2\sin\left(\frac{u - v}{2}\right)\cos
            \left(\frac{u + v}{2}\right)\\
            \cos(u) + \cos(v) = 2\cos\left(\frac{u + v}{2}\right)\cos
            \left(\frac{u - v}{2}\right)\\
            \cos(u) - \cos(v) = 2\cos\left(\frac{u - v}{2}\right)\cos
            \left(\frac{u + v}{2}\right)
        \end{align}

\textbf{Example 5:} Evaluate $\cos\stackon{(\ang{15})}{u} - \cos\stackon{(\ang{75})}{v}$ \newline

Recall: $\sin(-30) = -\sin(30)$

        \begin{align}
            &-2 \sin \left(\frac{\ang{15} + \ang{75}}{2}\right) \sin\left(\frac{\ang{15} - \ang{75}}{2}\right)\\
            &+ 2 \sin (\ang{45}) ~ \sin (\ang{30})\\
            &= \cancel{2} \left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\cancel{2}}\right) \left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = \left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)
        \end{align}
