General ⇒ Continuous Equation Numbering throughout the Document

[zjlszsy]

So I am typesetting a book which includes several chapters. The equations are numbered automatically by LaTeX in the form of (5.3), which means the 3rd equation in Chapter 5. Now my boss said that the equations need to be numbered in a single number throughout the document, say (1.1) would be equation (1), (1.2) would be (2), and if Chapter 1 has 10 equations, Chapter 2 would begin with equation (11) instead of (2.1).

I wonder if anyone knows how to do this. Thanks a lot!

You could use the chngcntr package:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{chngcntr}
\counterwithout{equation}{chapter}
