To make eqn work inside tbl you must use test blocks.
For instance, try the following example:

.TS
delim ($$) center;
l l.
1	T{
$x=2 pi int sin ( omega t)dt$
T}
2	T{
$a+b over 2c = 1$
T}
3	T{
$A ~=~ left [ pile { a above b above c } ~~ pile { x above y above z } right ]$
.TE

The second column on each line begins with "T{".  This begins a text block
in TBL.  Every "T{" must be the last set of characters on a line.
The text block ends with "T}".  Every "T}" must be the first set of
characters on a line.

Text blocks are very useful.  I have been known to put entire grap ouputs
in a column using text blocks.
