Summation theorems for hypergeometric series $_2F_1$ and generalized hypergeometric series $_pF_q$ play important roles in themselves and their diverse applications. Some summation theorems for $_2F_1$ and $_pF_q$ have been established in several or many ways. Here we give a proof of Watson's classical summation theorem for the series $_3F_2$(1) by following the same lines used by Rakha [7] except for the last step in which we applied an integral formula introduced by Choi et al. [3].

The authors aim at obtaining an interesting result for a special summation formula for $_{6F_5}$(1), by comparing two generalized Watson's theorems on the sum of a $_{3F_2}$ obtained earlier by Mitra and Lavoie et. al.

In 1997, Exton, by mainly employing a widely-used process of resolving hypergeometric series into odd and even parts, obtained some new and interesting summation formulas with arguments 1 and -1. We aim at showing how easily many summation formulas can be obtained by simply combining some known summation formulas. Indeed, we present 22 results in the form of two generalized summation formulas for the generalized hypergeometric series $_4F_3$, including two Exton's summation formulas for $_4F_3$ as special cases.

We aim mainly at presenting two generalizations of the well-known Gauss's second summation theorem and Bailey's formula for the series $_2F_1(1/2)$. An interesting transformation formula for $_pF_q$ is obtained by combining our two main results. Relevant connections of some special cases of our main results with those given here or elsewhere are also pointed out.

By applying various known summation theorems to a general transformation formula based upon Bailey's transformation theorem due to Slater, Exton has obtained numerous and new quadratic transformations involving hypergeometric functions of order greater than two(some of which have typographical errors). We aim at first deriving a general quadratic transformation formula due to Exton and next providing a list of quadratic formulas(including the corrected forms of Exton's results) and some more results.

InIn this paper we consider generalizations of the classical Dixon's theorem and the classical Whipple's theorem on the sum of a $_3F_2$. The results are derived with the help of generalized Watson's theorem obtained earlier by Mitra. A large number of results contiguous to Dixon's and Whipple's theorems obtained earlier by Lavoie, Grondin and Rathie, and Lavoie, Grondin, Rathie and Arora follow special cases of our main findings.

The main object of this paper is to present a transformation formula for a finite series involving $_3F_2$ and some identities associated with the binomial coefficients by making use of the theory of Legendre polynomials $P_{n}$(x) and some summation theorems for hypergeometric functions $_pF_q$. Some integral formulas are also considered.
