I am currently writing my MSc thesis and I am having a problem with roman and arabic page numbering. I would like the Contents, List of Figures and List of Tables all to have roman page numbers. I would then like the arabic numbers to start at the Introduction. I have included my code below.
At the moment I am strangely seeing roman page numbers on the Contents and List of Figures, but the arabic numbers are starting on the List of Tables page instead of the Introduction page! I don't know if it makes a difference, but I am using the book
class.
Note - In case anyone is wondering, I am using \setcounter{secnumdepth}{-1}
to prevent List of Figures and List of Tables from being numbered as chapters.
% Contents %
\newpage
\pagenumbering{roman}
\setcounter{page}{1}
\tableofcontents
% List of Figures %
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{-1}
\chapter{List of Figures}
% List of Tables %
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{-1}
\chapter{List of Tables}
% Introduction %
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{1}
\setcounter{page}{1}
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\chapter{Introduction}
