Without getting into a Lamstex, AMSTEX, etc., debate on c.t.t, let me offer
Jerry Leichter's <LEICHTER-JERRY@CS.YALE.EDU> seceqn.sty, which is designed
to do precisely what you want for numbering equations in this manner within
sections in LaTeX's article.sty.  If you wish to achieve this by chapter or
some other mechanism in book.sty or report.sty, this (very short) file
serves as a good template for what to look for in creating your own
specialized style.

To retrieve the file via e-mail, include the command:
 SENDME STY.SECEQN
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.edu (FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET). 
For anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8), the file is
in the [.STY] directory.

Regards,   George
