      In this paper some nontrivial \(q\)-formulas involving many infinite products are derived using a general \(q\)-series expansion due to the author [Ramanujan J. 6, No. 4, 429--447 (2002; Zbl 1044.05012)]. These formulas include: a multitude of Hecke-type series identities (the well-known identity due to Andrews, Dyson and Hickerson, other identities of Andrews, some limiting cases of Watson's \(q\)-analog of Whipple's theorem), general formulas for sums of any number of squares and a new representation for the generating function for sums of three triangular numbers, which is slightly different from that of Andrews and also implies the famous result of Gauss that every integer is the sum of three triangular numbers.
