Hi, I'm writing my thesis using lyx. I'm not exactly sure what class to use. The problem is this: If I use the book class, the top level sectioning environment is chapter and the numbering of the equations inherit the chapter number. Equation's on chapter 1 will be numbered: 1.1, 1.2 ... and on chapter 2 they will be numbered: 2.1, 2.2... This is good. However this is not really a book and I don't want the word "Chapter" to apear in begining of each chapter. I'm more comfortable with the article class where the top level is Section. But then the equations don't inherit the section number. They are simply numbered 1,2,3... How should I go about this?
thanks, Gary
