摘要：

We present a simple method for the calculation of generalized Fermi functions. It is based on a straight integration using quadratures, with an adequate interval subdivision and variable choice. The result is a fast and accurate algorithm, which is compared with other existing methods in accuracy, versatility, and speed.
