The behavior of a finite number of bosons trapped in a bounded harmonic potential is investigated. The eigenvalue spectrum is worked out numerically for three different sizes of the trap. The condensate fraction is determined and is found to increase suddenly below a certain temperature which is a characteristic signature of BEC. The specific heat-temperature curve also shows a peak, with the maximum shifting to lower values and occurring at higher temperatures, as the size of the assembly is reduced.
