Starting from the Fermi-Dirac distribution fuunction, Kinetic Theory prescriptions are applied to express number density and pressure as integrals, which are then solved for nonvanishing temperature. The results are then combined to arrive at an equation of state, given in closed form, yielding pressure as a function of number density.
