Creation
The character of Amita Ramanujan was in the original pilot as a MIT graduate student. Navi Rawat was cast in the role of Amita. Due to her commitment to North Shore, writers and producers were uncertain whether Rawat would return to Numb3rs. Rawat's character on North Shore got cut before the pilot even aired, enabling her to return to Numb3rs as a guest star during the first season. She became a regular during season two.
The last name of the character is taken directly from the celebrated Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, whose impact on the mathematical field has been enormous. There is even a mathematical journal, The Ramanujan Journal, dedicated solely to the discoveries made by Ramanujan. He died at the age of 32, having made remarkable breakthroughs in his short career.
