Abstract
This article offers formulas for computing various q-binomial nested sums, give three forms of results, reveals the three forms of q-binomial and their interrelationships. It is a powerful tool for q-analysis, which can prove and generalize many classic conclusions in a simple way. This article also utilized it to obtain a large number of new results, including formulas for q-Eulerian numbers and polynomials. By taking the limit of q to 1, it can calculate general nested sums and analyze binomial coefficients.
