[Tex/LaTex] Empty page with number at the end of chapter

page-numbering

My thesis document is having an empty page at the end of the chapter. The page is numbered too. Any ideas what could have caused this ?

If the page number is even, then an empty page is often created by \cleardoublepage either explicitly or via \chapter or similar commands that call \cleardoublepage to get on an odd-numbered page.

There are other reasons for empty pages, but then try to create a minimal working example (MWE) that shows the problem.

It's quite unclear why pages shouldn't be numbered. Anyway, here's the trick:

\documentclass{book}

\begin{document}

\frontmatter
\pagenumbering{gobble} % omitting this line will number pages with roman numerals

\tableofcontents

\mainmatter

\chapter{First}
text
\end{document}

Most likely it is \pagenumbering that is causing this resetting of the page counter. The easiest is to redefine it to do nothing but change the display rather than also resetting the page counter. As such, add

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\pagenumbering}[1]{\gdef\thepage{\csname @#1\endcsname\c@page}}
\makeatother

to your preamble.
