Abstract The recent work of George Andrews and Mircea Merca on the truncated version of Euler's pentagonal number theorem has opened up a new study on truncated theta series. Since then several papers on the topic have followed. The main purpose of this paper is to generalize the study to Hecke-Rogers type double series, which are associated with some interesting partition functions. Our proofs heavily rely on a formula from the work of Zhi-Guo Liu on the q-partial differential equations and q-series.
