This paper utilized a modification of q-series to develop some partition formulas in the tradition of Bernoulli–Euler–Rogers–Ramanujan identities. Many of the ideas owe their development to the detailed pioneering work of Leonard Carlitz, with the added acknowledgement to the creative work currently being done by other number theorists working in this fertile area.
