Problem:
Taking point a) as the definition of a geodesic surface, prove its properties in the remaining points:
a) at each point, the normal to the surface is the principal normal of the line.
b) at each point of the line, its geodesic curvature is 0 .
c) its curvature is equal to the absolute value of the normal curvature.
d) straightening plane coincides with the tangent plane to the surface.
