I am using the article document style of LATEX.

I do not want the page number '1' printed at the bottom of the first
page, which has a \maketitle and an abstract environment on it. (Why?
because the next page is a table of contents, with pages numbered i,
ii, ... and it looks silly). No matter what I do, LaTeX insists on
putting in that page number. I have tried \pagestyle{empty} at
multiple places throughout the first page and before the
\begin{document}, I have tried \pagestyle{headings} and
\pagestyle{myheadings}. None of these change the way LaTeX does the
first page. 

Any simple answers?
