This slide is showing compiling errors. I guess there isn't enough space. My question : a) Why isn't align working inside the alert block? b) Why isn't allowframebreaks working in my particular slide.

\item We can use the shortcut formula $\sigma_{Y_1Y_2}=E[Y_1Y_2]-E[Y_1]E[Y_2]$.
\item Recall $E[Y_1]=2/3$ from our previous lecture.
\item You should easily be able to verify that $E[Y_2]=4/3$.
\item \begin{alertblock}
\begin{align*}
E[Y_1] &= \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} y_1 f(y_1,y_2) dy_1 dy_2 \\
& = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} y_1 f_1(y_1) dy_1

Compilable (or, in this case, non-compilable) code is much more useful than mere fragments. In any case, if I complete it myself, your code compiles fine. You need to show us what generates the error. – cfr Jul 15 '14 at 0:47alertblockneeds an argument, the title of the block. – Dox Jul 15 '14 at 2:24
