In mathematics he's best known for Ramsey numbers and his theorem on complete graphs, but he also studied combinatorics and logic. In economics he's best known for formulating a pricing model for monopolies that would theoretically maximize social welfare. As Ramsey did important work on decision analysis, the Decision Analysis Society named its annual medal after him.
