Adventures in Post-Newtonian Theory

The post-Newtonian approximation to general relativity plays a paramount role in the discovery of gravitational waves by LIGO and Virgo. In this talk, we highlight the seminal contributions from Thibault and review the latest developments concerning the definition of accurate PN templates for gravitational waves.
