I'll note that the TechRef has an explanation of Expressions and definitions of all the available Expression "functions" at pg 171

If you don't have it already, the TechRef can be downloaded from the FTP...

If you made it to the point in Math (algebra?) in school where functions, in which one or more input values yield one output value, were discussed, Expressions will make a bit more sense.

They are a way to collect parameter values from your A:M universe, maybe do some math on them, and use them to create a new value for a parameter.

They are useful for connecting things for which a regular constraint does not exist.

You could tie the intensity of a light to the rotation of a bone.

You could change the color of a material in relation to the scaling of an object.
