‎\listoffigures‎ 
\listoftables‎

\section{problem}
\end{document}‎

Answer 1

If your chapters end with a "Problems" section, the best is to define a macro to do the job in a consistent way:

\newcommand{\problems}{%
  \section*{Problems}
  \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Problems}}

Then you'll simply say

\problems

<Here the list of problems>

The key is the \addcontentsline, that adds the entry to the table of contents. You might need to add something to adjust the headers, if you use them.
