The reference manual page for complete Fermi-Dirac Integrals F_j(x)
http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/Complete-Fermi_002dDirac-Integrals.html
Second line after heading reads
F_j(x) := (1/r\Gamma(j+1)) \int_0^\infty dt (t^j / (\exp(t-x) + 1))
Should read
F_j(x) := (1/\Gamma(j+1)) \int_0^\infty dt (t^j / (\exp(t-x) + 1))
(omit "r")
Maybe an additional comment could be placed after
this line, something like:
"Attention, this definition differs from definitions often found
in theoretical physics textbooks, where the prefactor
1/\Gamma(j+1) is omitted."
Thank you.
