Chapter titles

Post by Mikerada6 »

How do i make the code \chapter{Slope fields. Separation of Variables. Existence and uniqueness} read
Project 1 Slope fields. Separation of Variables. Existence and uniqueness

rather than:

Chapter 1 Slope fields. Separation of Variables. Existence and uniqueness

Thank you in advance for your help

Hi,

it depends on the document class you are using, this works for instance with book and report, but without babel:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*\chaptername{Project}

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*\sectionname{Problem}

Is \sectionname defined by your document class? If not, that line above will just raise an error.

Yes, it doesn't have a name. If you want use more complicated titling/sectioning have a look at the titlesec package.
