Asymptotic expansions for the thermodynamic functions of an ideal spin-\textonehalf{} Fermi gas in a weak magnetic field are obtained about the point
z=1, where
z is the fugacity. We consider paramagnetism, diamagnetism, and paramagnetism plus diamagnetism together. To relate to liquid
3He films and bulk fluid, we study the spin paramagnetism in two and three dimensions.
