Use

\chapter*{Introduction}

This suppresses numbering, which for chapters includes suppressing the 
automatically generated text "Chapter" as well as the number. The 
chapter counter is not incremented either, so numbering will start from 
1 at the first (non-starred) \chapter command, which is what you want.

HTH,

Toby
