Notes

  1. 1.

    In English: “Translator’s note. In my opinion, Bose’s derivation of Planck’s formula is an important step forward. The method used here gives also the quantum theory of the perfect gas, as I will discuss elsewhere.”

  2. 2.

    In English: “Thermal equilibrium in the radiation field in the presence of matter.”
