Abstract
This chapter is devoted to a quick review of some results in Riemannian geometry using the moving frame formalism. While we assume basic knowledge of the general subject as presented, for instance, in the standard references [51, 121, 156, 170, 171, 219, 272], several computations will be carried out in full detail in order to acquaint the reader with notation.
