Review text

Numerical relativity is the branch of General Relativity whose goal is to obtain explicit solutions to the Einstein equations. Several open issues slow down the progress in that field and their resolution will be key in realizing its full possibilities. This article presents a brief introduction to the discipline, placing special emphasis on some of the main open conceptual problems. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1048.83001].
