By using the well-known canonical form for axially symmetric stationary space-time and exploiting its invariance with respect to transformations \(\phi '=\phi -\omega t\) of the azimuthal angle, simple formulas for calculating circular geodesics in Schwarzschild and Kerr space-times, Thomas precession, and gyroscopic precession in Schwarzschild and Gödel space-times, are derived.
