A new proof of some identities of Bressoud

We provide a new proof of the following two identities due to Bressoud: ∑m=0Nqm2[Nm]=∑m=−∞∞(−1)mqm(5m+1)/2 [      2NN+2m], ∑m=0Nqm2+m[Nm]=(1/(1−qN+1))∑m=−∞∞(−1)m×qm(5m+3)/2 [      2N+2N+2m+2], which can be considered as finite versions of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities....
