Re: Suppressing chapter numbers in sections, in book documentclass

Put

\makeatletter
\renewcommand \thesection {\@arabic\c@section}
\makeatother

in your preamble.


A complete minimum working example:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand \thesection {\@arabic\c@section}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter*{}  %% Puts the table of contents in a separate page
\section{One}
\lipsum[1]
\section{Two}
\lipsum[2]
\end{document}
