Moshier (1989, §6.14) provides minimax rational approximations for calculating $\mathrm{Ai}\left(x\right)$, ${\mathrm{Ai}}^{\prime }\left(x\right)$, $\mathrm{Bi}\left(x\right)$, ${\mathrm{Bi}}^{\prime }\left(x\right)$. They are in terms of the variable $\zeta$, where $\zeta =\frac{2}{3}{x}^{3/2}$ when $x$ is positive, $\zeta =\frac{2}{3}{(-x)}^{3/2}$ when $x$ is negative, and $\zeta =0$ when $x=0$. The approximations apply when , that is, when or . The precision in the coefficients is 21S.

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 ${10}^{-4},{10}^{-8},{10}^{-12}$.
