Always a treat to go though the proof of Cauchy's integral formula!

[Robert Devine @RobertDevineJNJ]

@PhysInHistory Very comprehensive and an excellent desk reference. Margenau and Murphy published an excellent textbook - worth the effort to read and work through the problem sets.

Cloudera CEO Charles Sansbury joined CNBC Squawk Box Asia to discuss how enterprise AI priorities are evolving, why flexibility matters, and the data foundations organizations need to turn AI investments into value: https://t.co/1Bz0AW3UIz

We're addressing these challenges head on with Cloudera Anywhere Cloud™ and can't wait to share more throughout our #EVOLVE26 event series.

We've got exciting conversations ahead! 🙌

Yesterday, at Box we reported our Q2 results with revenue of $321.1 million for the quarter, up 9%, or 11% in constant currency (our highest constant-currency growth rate in 14 quarters), and we raised our full-year revenue target to $1.290 billion. Overall, this growth is being driven by the demand we're seeing from enterprises aiming to get the most out of their enterprise content and transform in the era of AI.

As I shared on our earnings call, during the quarter I spoke with many enterprise technology leaders who highlighted their primary goals and challenges in implementing AI. One of the most common topics is how enterprises can get the right context to AI agents, as well as tap into the full value of their unstructured data, in a secure and governed way.

The world’s most advanced superintelligence is only as useful as the underlying enterprise knowledge it has access to. Agents need access to the critical information that makes up the bulk of corporate knowledge --like contracts, research materials, financial documents, marketing assets, product roadmap information, and so on-- most of which lives within an enterprise’s unstructured data.

We've long been able to query, calculate, and automate work that deals with structured data; but the vast majority of data in an enterprise is unstructured, often in the form of our enterprise content. Instead of sitting on millions or hundreds of millions of files they know very little about, companies can now use AI agents to ask questions about this data, mine it all for intelligence, and automate nearly any workflow that involves this enterprise content.

The technology leaders I'm talking to are also recognizing that as AI model capabilities advance across AI labs --like OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceXAI, Meta, Google, NVIDIA, and a variety of open-weight providers-- they will need applied AI platforms that can bring the full power of these models to their processes. And with AI token usage continuing to grow exponentially, the ability to draw the right cost-performance mix becomes essential. Rather than migrating data and workflows into separate systems to unlock AI's benefits, enterprises need the ability to swap models or agents on their workflows and information at any time.

Finally, as we saw with the recent OpenAI Hugging Face incident, enterprises will increasingly need platforms that can securely protect their corporate data and ensure that neither humans nor agents can get access to information they shouldn’t have access to. As external AI agents interact with enterprise data, enterprises will need platforms that offer robust guardrails, comprehensive audit logs, and real-time security alerts to ensure content remains protected and governed at all times.

Given all of these dynamics, there's going to be a tremendous amount of opportunity for various plays to bring intelligence to the critical workflows inside of enterprises at the applied AI layer. At Box. we're focused on building the leading intelligent content management platform to empower enterprises to transform how they work with their unstructured data at scale. And we're looking forward to partnering with all of the other companies bringing intelligence into organizations as well.

Yes, and difficult to underestimate the value of working through problem sets following each chapter - those should be lifelong practices given the benefits gained in creative faculty and understanding mathematical concepts. Paper and pencil may seem old school yet priceless in skills refinement and discovery which is a joy unto itself. Have a wonderful semester!
