Abstract
We report results of a project investigating the growth of super-massive black holes (BHs) by disk accretion. We find that the BH mass growth is quick enough to account for the inferred masses in the highest-redshift quasars, and the growth time is an inverse function of the final BH mass as seems to be required by recent X-ray surveys.
