On Quaternionic Bertrand Curves in Euclidean $3$-Space

On Quaternionic Bertrand Curves in Euclidean $3$-Space

In this article, spatial quaternionic Bertrand curve pairs in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space are examined. Algebraic properties of quaternions, basic definitions and theorems are given. Later, some characterizations of spatial quaternionic Bertrand curve pairs are obtained in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space.
