In this chapter we give the basic definitions and properties concerning contact manifolds both as given by a global contact form and as a contact structure in the wider sense. We then give many examples of contact manifolds, a discussion of the celebrated Boothby–Wang fibration, and a discussion of the Weinstein conjecture.
