Abstract:
Theta functions have historically played a prominent role in number theory. One such role is the construction of modular forms. In this work, a generalized theta function is used to construct an infinite family of summation identities. Our results grew out of some observations noted during a presentation given by the author at the 1992 AMS-MAA-SIAM Joint Meetings in Baltimore.References
