How to reset chapter after each part

Question

How could we reset enumeration after each part? I.e. how can we have part I with chapters 1,2,3 etc, and then part II with chapter 1,2,3 ?

Usually chapters are numbered sequentially ignoring parts; resetting the numbers would make cross-references to the chapters quite clumsy: “in chapter 3 of part 2 we discussed…” — egreg, Jul 11, 2013 at 11:04

\makeatletter
\@addtoreset{chapter}{part}
\makeatletter

will do what you ask, although it is perhaps more normal to also do

\renewcommand{\thechapter{\thepart.\arabic{chapter}}

so the chapters are prefixed with the part number, unless the parts are sufficient;y distinct that you never need to cross reference between them.

Also, if you're using hyperref you should use \@addtoreset after hyperref was loaded.
