copied!<p>A quick fix without the hassles of renewing the section command is to use addtocounter.</p> <p>Everytime you use the \section*{} command, right after that you can say \addtocounter{section}{1}</p> <pre><code>\chapter{} \section*{Preliminaries} \addtocounter{section}{1} \subsection{Banach Algebras} \section*{Preliminaries} \addtocounter{section}{1} \subsection{Banach Algebras} </code></pre> <p>This will give you a result of,</p> <pre><code>Chapter 1 Preliminaries 1.1.1 Banach Algebras Preliminaries 1.2.2 Banach Algebras </code></pre> <p>Essentially, it is just adding 1 to your section counter whenever you create a section so when the subsection checks the section counter, it has the updated counter.</p> <p>And the advantage is that if you add another section now which needs to be numbered like,</p> <pre><code>\chapter{} \section*{Preliminaries} \addtocounter{section}{1} \subsection{Banach Algebras} \section*{Preliminaries} \addtocounter{section}{1} \subsection{Banach Algebras} \section{Preliminaries} </code></pre> <p>You will get the correct section number (i.e. 1.3)</p> <pre><code>Chapter 1 Preliminaries 1.1.1 Banach Algebras Preliminaries 1.2.2 Banach Algebras 1.3 Preliminaries </code></pre> <p>The main drawback is that you will have to remember to add to the counter everytime you created a \section*{}</p> <p>You can add \setcounter{subsection}{0} everytime you create one of those sections to reset the subsection counter... sorry I missed that one. Thanks for clarifying.</p>
