Introduction to Formulas

Is there any very (and I stress very) basic introduction to building formulas in Salesforce?  Like for a complete beginner, any sort of documents, sites, videos or other that teach the steps or fundementals of using formulas in Salesforce.

 

I'm an intern working on building a system for a company that hired me and am struggling quite a bit trying to grasp the more complicated sides of setting up their account.
