Barry Devlin

Abstract

Frank P. Ramsey was a pretty clever guy, by the age of 25 he had made huge contributions in diverse areas of Mathematics, Economics and Philosophy. However all his brains couldn't save him from an untimely death from Jaundice at the age of 26. I'll talk a little bit about the not coincidentally named field of Ramsey theory which he pioneered.
