Page Layout ⇒ Getting rid of section number but display subsection number?

[smtwtfs]

Hi everyone,

I'm only using subsections. I want to display subsection number without showing the section number. For example

Code: Select all

\begin{document}
\subsection{First}

It displays

0.1 First

. I only want

1 First

. Is there a way I can get this done?

Thanks!

Put this somewhere in the preamble:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\thesubsection}{\arabic{subsection}}

Anyway, I can't figure out why you are not using sections, which is the natural way to go in an article-like document class.
