I really like the style of Springer book (which is available here), so I decided to customize it for my own book.
In that template, the section in chapter is labelled as : 1.1 (1st section in chapter 1), x.y(xth section in chapter y).
I want to change numbering the section in each chapter by arabic, start with 1,....
So, how can I do it ?
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}should do that. I'm not entirely clear on the current numbering scheme. Perhaps you could provide a visual in the form of some ASCII art? – Werner Apr 15 '13 at 07:43
