Hi Zbigniew,

After playing with your source file for a while it seems that babel interferes with the chaptername: with the babel command present the chapter name is Chapter no matter what.

That’s why using  \AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand …  }  does the job.
Now the redefinition comes *after* what  babel  has done, also delayed.


As for the page numbering on the 1st page,
that is definitely triggered by the  subfig  package.

Try using the  subfigure  package by the same author.
It is a little older, but it does *not* load  caption.sty
which is likely the cause of losing some document settings
with  memoir  document classes.

Test this theory by trying combinations of:
 1.  commenting out   \usepackage{subfig}
 2.  loading  captions  directly
 3.  loading the   subfigure  package.
(4. even try a different document-class than  memoir !)

If you definitely need the  captions  package — quite possible, as it does
some very good things), then you’ll have to see whether there are
any compatibility options to  memoir designed for use with  caption .
If not, you’ll have to find how to reset some of the changes that are made.


After commenting it out chapters are renamed to Lectures trough out the document.

Initially, I was getting active hyperref links, then suddenly it changed. backref seems to work (there are section references in the bibiiography and page references in the index ) and references show up in red; if I click on a reference, I get a thumbnail of the material being referred to, but the viewer does
