Do you mean Gauss' law in electrostatics? If so, you want to prove that the electric flux ΦE through a simply connected closed surface S is Q/ε0, where Q is the total electric charge enclosed by the surface. Let ρ be the volume density of the charge enclosed by S.
ΦE = ∫∫E·ndS (integral over the entire closed surface)
where E is the electric field vector crossing the surface S, and n is an outward pointing unit vector normal to the surface S. By the divergence theorem (which I assume you saw in your vector calculus),
∫∫E·ndS = ∫∫∫∇·EdV
where V is the volume enclosed by S.
Maxwell's first law states that
∇·E = ρ/ε0
Then
ΦE = ∫∫∫(ρ/ε0)dV = (1/ε0) ∫∫∫ρdV
But
∫∫∫ρdV = Q
Therefore,
ΦE = Q/ε0
