V2: 41 pages, 3 figures: Introductory chapter on the Kerr spacetime that is intended for use in the book "The Kerr spacetime",

Scientific paper

This chapter provides a brief introduction to the Kerr spacetime and rotating
black holes, touching on the most common coordinate representations of the
spacetime metric and the key features of the geometry -- the presence of
horizons and ergospheres. The coverage is by no means complete, and serves
chiefly to orient oneself when reading subsequent chapters.
