B. Ekhad and D. Zeilberger Abstract We survey the applications of an elementary identity used by Euler in one of his proofs of the Pentagonal Number Theorem. Using a suitably reformulated version of this identity that we call Euler s Telescoping Lemma we give alternate proofs of all the key summation theorems for terminating Hypergeometric Series and Basic Hypergeometric Series including the terminating Binomial Theorem the Chu-Vandermonde sum the Pfaff-Saalschutz sum and their q-analogues. We also give a proof of Jackson s q-analog of Dougall s sum the sum of a terminating balanced very-well-poised 8O7 sum. Our proofs are conceptually the same as those obtained by the WZ method but done without using a computer. We survey identities for Generalized Hypergeometric Series given by Macdonald and prove several identities for q-analogs of Fibonacci numbers and polynomials and Pell numbers that have appeared in combinatorial contexts. Some of these identities appear to be new.
