The medium is very important in connection to speed of light, hence it 
should be mentioned.

Sure. But this would still not allow wrong algebraic symbols.

Actually the problem was omnipresent.

But I can take one example, which is on page 23 the second last equation 
of the entire text.

It says:

-d²y/dt²=epsilon/m* v/c * N * sqrt(1- v²/c²)


Now I wrote * for multiplication, while Einstein wrote no such signs.

This will be interpreted as scalar multiplication.

So we have a subpart '...vN...' in this equation.

since v is a vector and N, too, we have a scalar product of two 
perpendicular vectors, what is zero.

That would say, that acceleration in the y direction is zero (what is 
wrong).

Actually the cross product had to be applied here, because the electron 
gets curved in the x,y plane, if the magnet is placed in the z direction.

(To call the magnetic field from the z-direction 'N' was also an error.)
