Database Normalization

I know that is not the appropriate group for asking this question,
but I do not know of any better forum.

Can anyone plz explain clearly what normalization is? The first three
normal forms upto 3NF and BCNF. I know the first one but the remaining
ones are really confusing. The language changes dramatically into
functional dependencies x---y, all that, and normalization, the real
topic is lost in between.

Decent explanation or good links would be highly appreciated.

Regards
