Hi.

How to remove headers for pages between chapters?

Kindly prepare a self-contained and minimal example to give an adequate problem description.

Following is the minimal example about removing headers for pages between chapters. Thank you for your cooperation.

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{book}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsthm}
 
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\setlength{\headheight}{16.4pt}
\lhead{}
\rhead{}
\fancyhead[RE,LO]{\bfseries\thepage}
\fancyhead[CE]{ \leftmark }
\fancyhead[CO]{\rightmark}
\cfoot{}
 
\begin{document}
\chapter{Integral}
\begin{equation}
(f*g)(t)=\int_{0}^{t}f(t)g(x-t)\ dt
\end{equation}
 
\chapter{Matrix}
\begin{equation}
AX=B
\end{equation}
 
\chapter{Linear Algebra}
\end{document}

It needs a little modification of the \cleardoublepage command. We take its definition from the LaTeX kernel and supplement it with the command that enables the empty page style.

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{
   headheight=15pt
}
 
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[LE,RO]{\thepage}
\fancyhead[RE]{\leftmark}
\fancyhead[LO]{\rightmark}
\pagestyle{fancy}
 
\usepackage{lipsum}  % only for dummy text, not for use in actual document
 
%% Patch for blank pages between chapters
%% which disables the current page style
\makeatletter
\def\cleardoublepage{\clearpage\if@twoside \ifodd\c@page\else
   \hbox{}\thispagestyle{empty}\newpage\if@twocolumn\hbox{}\newpage\fi\fi\fi}
\makeatother
 
\begin{document}
   \chapter{Foo}
     \lipsum[1-3]  % only for dummy text, not for use in actual document
 
   \chapter{Bar}
     \lipsum[4-6]  % only for dummy text, not for use in actual document
 
   \chapter{Baz}
     \lipsum[7-9]  % only for dummy text, not for use in actual document
\end{document}
