✦ Synopsis
The exact electron distribution in certain small isolated systems is derived from the enumeration of the partitions of integers. The corresponding generating series are ascribed a physical interpretation. The well-known Fermi Dirac statistics is recovered by averaging.

The aim of this paper is to provide the best compromise between accuracy and CPU-time for calculating the generalized Fermi-Dirac integrals. After a brief review of the existing methods, with emphasis on two of them, we present our method valid for all values of the degeneracy parameter and of the t
