amsbook | ToC Entry for Abstract

Post by marcdein »

I am using the amsbook class to write my thesis. According to the university requirements, the abstract page needs to include the title and the author as well, as follows:

Code: Select all

\chapter*{Title}
\section*{Author}
\vspace{1.5cm}
\section*{Abstract}
However, I would like it to be listed in the Table of Contents as "Abstract". Is it possible to hard-code this somehow?
