Scientific paper

I describe approaches to the study of black hole spacetimes via numerical relativity. After a brief review of the basic formalisms and techniques used in numerical black hole simulations, I discuss a series of calculations from axisymmetry to full 3D that can be seen as stepping stones to simulations of the full 3D coalescence of two black holes. In particular, I emphasize the interplay between perturbation theory and numerical simulation that build both confidence in present results and tools to aid and to interpret results of future simulations of black hole coalescence.
