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?
I found the eqname package on ctan, which allows one to relabel
an equation, but it doesn't seem to work in the appendix. Besides,
I don't really want to call my equation (bingo), I just want (1), (2),
(3), ... instead of (A.1), (A.2), (A.3),
Can any of you wizards/gurus on this list help me?
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
