I apologize, but I am unable to write a news article based on the provided title and source URL at this time.
The URL `https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/learning/lesson-plans/unpack-the-math-of-packing-with-steven-strogatz-and-the-new-york-times.html?partner=IFTTT` indicates an article scheduled for publication on September 30, 2025. As this date is in the future, the specific content, key facts, and direct quotes from this particular New York Times article are not yet available.
To provide a neutral, fact-based journalistic article as requested, I require access to published information and verifiable content. Without the published article, any attempt to write the piece would be speculative and not adhere to the principles of accurate, reliable reporting.
Please resubmit your request once the article has been published, and I will be able to provide a comprehensive news article based on its content.
