Resetting Theorem Counter (Number) For Definition Environment
In my (book) document I start a new chapter without starting a section. I expect the first definition in this chapter to be numbered with "2.0.1". However, the definition is numbered "2.0.2".
I have tried adding following command within the preamble:
\makeatletterafter
\@addtoreset{theorem}{section}
\makeatother
\newtheorem{definition}[theorem]{Definition}
or after
\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}[section]but it did not help. What should I do?

Instead of
\newtheorem{definition}[theorem]{Definition}
