General ⇒ \section* appears in table of contents

[mt226]

The code

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,twoside]{amsbook}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\section*{Sec 1}
\section{Sec 2}
\end{document}

produces Sec 1 unnumbered, as it should, but includes it in the table of contents, which seems to be the opposite of the documented behavior. What' wrong?

Hi mt,

inclusion of starred headings in the table of contents is AMS style.
Regarding this, have a look at this topic on TeX.SX.
