This computer visualization activity is designed to help upper-division undergraduate students visualize the flux of the electric field of a point charge through a cube. Students use Maple/Mathematica to explore the effects of putting a point charge at various places inside, outside, and on a cubical Gaussian surface. The wrap-up discussion highlights the "discovery" of Gauss's Law by using Maple/Mathematica to calculate the total flux through the cube.
