The Sum of the Cubes of the First N Natural Numbers

This applet shows a dynamic geometric proof of the formula for the sum of the cubes of the first n natural numbers. Think of each cube as a collection of [b]n[/b] [b]n[/b]x[b]n[/b] square layers of unit cubes. To find a formula for the sum of the cubes of the first natural numbers we will rearrange the square layers.
