Abstract
Portable Fortran subroutines computing the Fermi-Dirac integral F-j(x) and the incomplete Fermi-Dirac integral F-j(x,b) are presented. For t he first time a set of series expansions is implemented allowing these special functions to be evaluated efficiently within a prescribed acc uracy for real j and x;
