Market Capitalisation

Hey all. Just wondering if anyone could give me a brief summary of market capitalisation. A definition, and how it's calculated would be great. This is just one thing I have been unable to find a proper definition of.
Thanks in advance.

market cap = (number of outstanding shares)*(market price per ordinary share)

Ok thanks, but what does number of outstanding shares refer to?

The definition isn't in my text book, my teacher said its calculated by the number of shares times the value of shares
