The number of pairs of quadratic forms over \(\mathbb{F}_q\) (\(q\) odd) (Q1267003)

The number of equivalence classes of pairs of quadratic forms in dimension \(n\) over a finite field of \(q\) elements, where \(q\) is odd, is shown to be equal to the coefficient of \(t^n\) in the expansion of \[ \prod_{n\geq 1}{(1-qt^{2n}) (1+t^n)^2\over(1-qt^n)^2 (1-t^n)}. \]
