Cody et al. (1971) gives rational approximations for $\zeta \left(s\right)$ in the form of quotients of polynomials or quotients of Chebyshev series. The ranges covered are $0.5\le s\le 5$, $5\le s\le 11$, $11\le s\le 25$, $25\le s\le 55$. Precision is varied, with a maximum of 20S.

Antia (1993) gives minimax rational approximations for $\mathrm{\Gamma }\left(s+1\right)F_s(x)$, where $F_s(x)$ is the Fermi–Dirac integral (25.12.14), for the intervals and , with $s=-\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{2},\frac{5}{2}$. For each $s$ there are three sets of approximations, with relative maximum errors ${10}^{-4},{10}^{-8},{10}^{-12}$.

§19.38 Approximations

►Minimax polynomial approximations (§3.11(i)) for $K\left(k\right)$ and $E\left(k\right)$ in terms of $m=k^2$ with can be found in Abramowitz and Stegun (1964, §17.3) with maximum absolute errors ranging from 4×10⁻⁵ to 2×10⁻⁸. Approximations of the same type for $K\left(k\right)$ and $E\left(k\right)$ for are given in Cody (1965a) with maximum absolute errors ranging from 4×10⁻⁵ to 4×10⁻¹⁸. … ►Approximations for Legendre’s complete or incomplete integrals of all three kinds, derived by Padé approximation of the square root in the integrand, are given in Luke (1968, 1970). …The accuracy is controlled by the number of terms retained in the approximation; for real variables the number of significant figures appears to be roughly twice the number of terms retained, perhaps even for $\varphi$ near $\pi /2$ with the improvements made in the 1970 reference. …
