We develop analytical approximations of thermodynamic functions of fully ionized nonideal electron-ion plasmas, taking into account arbitrary magnetic fields. The presented formulae are applicable in a wide range of plasma parameters, including the domains of nondegenerate and degenerate, nonrelativistic and relativistic electrons, weakly and strongly coupled Coulomb liquids, classical and quantum Coulomb crystals.
