By using contiguous relations for basic hypergeometric series, we give simple proofs of Bailey's $_4\phi_3$ summation, Carlitz's $_5\phi_4$ summation, Sears' $_3\phi_2$ to $_5\phi_4$ transformation, Sears' ${}_4\phi_3$ transformations,…

Motivated by the works of Andrews-Merca and Guo-Zeng, we establish some truncated identities of Gauss by using some summation formulas from the works of Zhi-Guo Liu. These give three new expansions for partial sums of Gauss' triangular…
