Given integers
In this note we use the theory of theta functions to discover formulas for the number of representations of N as a sum of three squares and for the number of representations of N as a sum of three triangular numbers. We discover various new relations between these functions and short, motivated proofs of well known formulas of related combinatorial and number-theoretic interest.
