Math & Science ⇒ Theorem counter

[super_baros]

Hi all, just a quick question. How does one remove the 'dot' after "Theorem" in a document? For example, in chapter 1, the command (in the preamble)

\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}[chapter]

gives me

Theorem 1.1.

How do I remove the final dot?...

Many Thanks!...

[…] just a quick question. […]

You better build a quick minimal working example (MWE) because I see no problem.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}[chapter]

\begin{document}
  \chapter{First}
    \blindtext

    \section{First}
       \blindtext

       \begin{theorem}%[Test]
          \blindtext
       \end{theorem}
\end{document}

Best regards
Thorsten

Ok. I've tested it with a small example and I've discovered that the dot only appears if I use the package

\usepackage{amsthm}

But I need this package...

[localghost]

From this you can see that a MWE is absolutely necessary. For future requests get used to providing one right at the beginning.

The amsthm package offers the possibility for defining new styles. Refer to the package manual (Section 4.3 - New theorem styles, p. 4).

Sorry...

...if anybody's still interested, I managed to define a new environment which is the same as the default without the dot.

Code: Select all

\newtheoremstyle{mytheorem}
{3pt}
{3pt}
{}
{}
{\bf}
{}
{.5em}
{}

I would suggest you to use \bfseries instead of the obsolete command \bf.
