Read the source of book.cls and modify as appropriate ;-)

Was:
\renewcommand\theequation
  {\ifnum \c@chapter\z@ \thechapter.\fi \@arabic\c@equation}

So do:
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\theequation{\@arabic\c@equation}
\makeatother

[off topic] equation numbering in appendix

2002-02-05 Thread Richard Belshoff 

I posted the following to comp.text.tex but I got no responses.

I'm typesetting a book using latex2e, with \documentclass{book}.
In Appendix A, my first displayed equation is labled as (A.1) when 
typeset, but I would prefer it to be just (1).  

What's the best way to accomplish this?

(3), ... instead of (A.1), (A.2), (A.3),

I apologize for the off-topic post, but I'm desperate!

TIA.
