SUMMARY
The flux of the vector field F = xi + zj out of the cube defined by the corners (0,0,0), (1,0,0), (0,1,0), (0,0,1), (1,1,0), (1,0,1), (0,1,1), and (1,1,1) is confirmed to be 1. The divergence of the vector field is calculated as del · F = 1. The triple integral of the divergence over the cube results in a value of 1, validating the solution.
