Mean is the average you learned to do in school. That means that you add up all the numbers and divide by the number of numbers.
The median is the actual middle. The median is a more stable measure than the "average" because the average gets pulled +/- by extremely high and low values (like Buddha ...) If the mean and the median are the same, that usually means that you have a nice bell curve-y distribution.
You don't want to know about the mode. You just don't.
