If I am not wrong, inserting the following line into your preamble should do 
the trick:

\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}[chapter]

Hi,

I'm working on my thesis in lyx, it's a document of class book-AMS (so that
I can use theorem, definition... formats)

I want both theorems and definitions to be numbered within each chapter, not section (so, for example, the fifth definition in chapter 3 is defintion 3.5).


Is there a way to do this at all?

Thanks much
Nathan
