I am transcribing an old book in LaTeX, trying to preserve the style.
I found the amsbook class to be the perfect solution for me. I produce chapters with \chapter{Thermodynamic Systems} and I get something like "Chapter I – Thermodynamic Systems". When I create the TOC, the word "Chapter" is repeated for each entry, but I want it as a heading for all chapters, and then print only the chapter number.
This is what I get:
Preface………………………………………………………..iii
Introduction…………………………………………………vii
Chapter I. Thermodynamic Systems…………………..1
- The state of a system………………………………..1
Chapter II. The First Law of Thermodynamics………2
(actually, without points) and so on…
This is instead the original layout:
………………………………………………………………Page
Preface………………………………………………………..iiiIntroduction…………………………………………………vii
Chapter
I. Thermodynamic Systems………………………………1
- The state of a system………………………………..1
II. The First Law of Thermodynamics………………….2
(sorry for the poor reproduction, you have to imagine that "Chapter", "I" and "II" are vertically aligned.)
Is there also a way to write the word "Page" at the top of the pages numbers and to get the dots, like the original book?
I searched all around the web, but all the packages I found that allow to modify the TOC are incompatible with the amsbook class.
I DO NOT want to remove the word "Chapter" in the actual chapter name, I want to remove it only in the TOC.
Here is an axample of the document:

The state of a system in mechanics is completely specified at a
given instant of time if the position and velocity of each mass
point of the system are given. For a system composed of a
number $N$ of mass-points, this requires the knowledge of
$6N$ variables.

To remove the word "Chapter" from the chapters lines (see this answer of egreg) and to add the dots to every line you can write the following lines in the preamble:
Moreover, to insert the line with "Chapter" in the TOC, you can add the line
just after the
\mainmatterand, to have a line with the word "Page" right-aligned at the beginning of the TOC, add thisjust after the
\frontmatter.In other words, the following MWE:
gives the result:
