Abstract This paper uses properties of the Weyl semiintegral and semiderivative, along with Oldham's representation of the Randles–Sevcik function from electrochemistry, to derive infinite series expansions for the Fermi–Dirac integrals $$F$$ j (x), −∞〈x〈∞, j=−1/2, 1/2. The practical use of these expansions for the numerical approximation of $$F$$ −1/2(x) and $$F$$ 1/2(x) over finite intervals is investigated and an extension of these results to the higher order cases j=3/2, 5/2, 7/2 is outlined.
