the market capitalization is the total value of the equity in a company.
calculated by multiplying the shares outstanding by the current stock price. (if you wanted to get technical, i'd say it's the fully diluted shares outstanding...)

shares outstanding times current market price.
Market Cap is typically used to define the size of a company. bigger companies typically have a lot of shares of stock floating around the market. Also, when a company has a lot of shares in the market, they also typically carry more debt and therefore have a larger more robust balance sheet.
Market Cap Ranges:
$0 - $1 billion = small cap
$1 - $10 billion = mid cap
$10 billion + = large cap

Multiply the market price per share of the stock times the number of shares in the hands of investors.
