[Tex/LaTex] fancyhdr headings , how to remove the number of the section

fancyhdrheader-footer

I'm French so it's not easy to explain my problem but I'll try.

I use fancyhdr to make my own headings (book class).

I want the section's title at the right of the heading in small caps, and only in odds pages. But when I print it I can read e.g., "2. DERIVATION" which is what I was expecting.

My question is: how can I remove the number of the section, so that I can obtain just "DERIVATION" and not "2.DERIVATION"?

I wrote : 

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead{} % clear all header fields
\fancyhead[LE]{\footnotesize{\scshape\nouppercase{\leftmark}}}
\fancyhead[RO]{\footnotesize{\scshape\nouppercase{\rightmark}}}
\fancyfoot{} % clear all footer fields
\fancyfoot[LE,RO]{\thepage}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0 pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0 pt}

\leftmark is for chapter and is OK.

The problem is with the \rightmark, how can I redefine it?

Add the following line to the settings for fancyhdr

\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{\markright{#1}}
