People who enjoyed this article might also enjoy watching Daubechies' talk on using wavelets to, among other things, detect forgeries.

Thanks, I watched a few minutes and have it set to watch later. It's that kind of post that I love most from HN so far... I never would have seen that lecture without your comment.

Last week I went to a couple of lectures by the author and also went to view the St. John's altarpiece at the NC Museum of Art. It is beautiful and fascinating. The exhibit is very well done and I highly recommend it to anyone in the area.
