# Label style for equations

I want label equation as 1.1, 1.2. etc However, what I got is -1.2, -1.3. etc.

Is there any parameter control this style? The file for example like this:

\documentclass[12pt, reqno, screen]{amsart}
%\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{dsfont}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{aliascnt}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{mathrsfs}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\begin{document}
\title{test}
\maketitle
$$\label{eq3.3} \gamma(x)\le \gamma(y).$$
\end{document}


EDIT: I just noticed the difference between my code and the answer below. I am using an envirment with out 'section', so that is why the TeX generated the symbol -1.1. Adding section solves the problem.

• welcome to tex.sx. the information you've provided, while interesting, doesn't allow us to experiment. please complete this file by adding an example between \begin{document}...\end{document} that shows the problem when compiled. – barbara beeton Dec 7 '15 at 14:19
• So you mean that it currently displays E=mc² (-1.2) instead of E=mc² (1.2)? – Karlo Dec 7 '15 at 14:20
• Welcome to TeX.SE. I'm afraid your code snippet does not give rise, by itself, to the unwanted behavior you describe, viz., the extra - symbols ahead of the equation numbers. Please create a compilable example that generates the unwanted behavior. – Mico Dec 7 '15 at 14:21
• @MWijnand, yes, exactly – user60933 Dec 7 '15 at 14:32
• Hi. Your updated code still doesn't generate the problem behavior you've described, at least not when compiled with pdfLaTeX from the TeXlive2015 distribution. – Mico Dec 7 '15 at 14:34

I couldn't reproduce OP's problem. This works fine for me: (copied redundant headers from original)
