We prove ℚ-linear independence results for the values of the q-series
T<sub>q<sup>t</sup></sub>(z)= ∞ / ∑ / ν=0 q<sup>-tν(ν+1)/2<sub>z</sub>ν</sup> and Θ(q<sup>-t</sup>,z)= ∞ / ∑ / ν=-∞ q<sup>-tν²<sub>z</sub>ν</sup> at different rational points z ≠ 0 and with different positive integer parameters t, where q ∈ ℤ {0, ± 1}.
