Bertrand Curves -- Theorems from Exercise 14.4-27 A Survey of Geometry Vol.2 Howard Eves
In the attached paper, Bertrand Curve Theorems,
we present proofs of several key results about Bertrand curves as presented in Exercise 14.4-27 (a)-(i) in Howard Eves' "A Survey of Geometry Vol 2".
The proofs provide a nice introduction to Differential Geometry reasoning applied to these pairs of space curves which share a common principal normal between corresponding points.
In two parts of the exercise, (c) and (d), we actually prove a variant of the theorem as stated by Eves.
If any typos or errors are found, the author would welcome feedback.
