Approximations with Matlab implementations for the relativistic Fermi-Dirac integral and its partial derivatives are given in this paper. As the numerical tests show, the expansions allow to calculate the functions efficiently and with high accuracy for a large range of parameters. Therefore, our algorithms are expected to be a very useful tool, in combination with other methods, for building reliable and efficient software for computing the functions for all the parameters ranges.
