I want to create a counter that enumerates the Theorem-environments and Definition- environments in a beamer presentation in such a way that the enumeration follows the section numbers (the first theorem in section 5 should be Theorem 5.1 etc.). These enumerations should be independent of one another (the first definition in section 5 should be Definition 5.1 and not Definition 5.2). Is there a way to do this?
