Abstract:
This is a tutorial for using a new q-series Maple package.
The package includes facilities for conversion between q-series
and q-products and finding algebraic relations between q-series.
Andrews found an algorithm for converting a q-series into a product.
We provide an implementation. As an application we are
able to effectively find finite q-product factorisations when they
exist thus answering a question of Andrews. We provide other
applications involving factorisations into theta-functions and eta products.
