amsbook | Change "Chapter" to a different Name

Post by mayfair »

I am working in the AMSBOOK document class and would like to change the actual label of "Chapter" to something else, such as "Lesson." I want the word "Lesson" to appear in the Table of Contents and on the first page of each chapter instead of the word "Chapter." Does anyone know how to do this?

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\chaptername}{Lesson}
It will take two passes of (pdf)latex until the table of contents gets updated.

I'm using pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009/Debian).
