I just want problem numbers within each section to start at 1.

That's a downloaded package. (I only use Subsection for actual subsections of the text.) How would you make a Lab or Labproblem environment?

I didn't put a Chapter heading in the minimal example, but the actual textbook has six chapters with several sections in each.
