AB In the theory of simple games, the study of power indices plays animportant role. One of the main di culties with these indices is that computation generally requires the sum of a very large number of terms. Thegenerating functions are e cient tools to make more easy this computation. In this paper, we provide a revision of the main elements of thismethod when we use it to compute the Shapley-Shubik and the BanzhafColeman power indices. Further, we provide a new method to computethe Banzhaf-Coleman index
