I figured there was a way to restart the numbering. I just didn't take
the time to research it. It's great to have knowledgeable people like
Paul to answer these questions. They can save hours of research and
trial & error.
Incorporating Paul's approach with mine is another valid solution.
\setcounter{figure}{0}
\numberwithin{figure}{section}
While enabling AMS math from Document->Settings->Math Options.
