Comment on "Specific heat of an ideal Bose gas above the Bose condensation temperature," [Am. J. Phys. 72(9), 1193--1194 (2004)]
Abstract
We examine the English translation of Albert Einstein's groundbreaking 1925 paper on Bose-Einstein condensation. We guide readers to execute the calculations Einstein outlined for the specific heat above the condensation temperature, correct some numerical errors, and compare his formula with a different one published in the American Journal of Physics in 2004. The history of the acceptance of Einstein's theory will be summarized.
