How to make numbering of equations with just one number in each chapter?

Question

My report has 8 chapters. I want each chapter to have equations from number 1 and just showing with a simple number e.g. 1 without dependency on chapter number (e.g. (1.1)) or without dependency on section number (e.g. (1.1.1))? Just a simple number, and with each chapter starting from 1.

This has already been answered here: Continuous v. per-chapter/section numbering of figures, tables, and other document elements

But here is a minimal example which should do what you're looking for.

\documentclass{book}

\renewcommand{\theequation}{\arabic{equation}}

\begin{document}

\chapter{One}
\begin{equation}
    1-1=0
\end{equation}

\chapter{Two}
\begin{equation}
    1+1=2
\end{equation}
\end{document}

Welcome to TeX.SX! This will not make equation numbers start again from 1 at each chapter. – egreg Apr 29 '15 at 18:17
why use the package? – David Carlisle Apr 29 '15 at 18:47
True egreg, thanks for notice. I edited the code and now it should do the job. – JohnBee Apr 29 '15 at 18:48
As is the number does not restart, if you remove \usepackage{chngcntr} and \counterwithout{equation}{chapter} then it works as required – David Carlisle Apr 29 '15 at 18:50
