dKh, KH, alkalinity & calcium

Since chemistry was never my strong point in school, can someone please tell me the relastionship or difference between dKh, KH, and alkalinty and how they effect the calcium level in a reef tank? Or at least point me in the direction of an article that dumbs it down for me to where I can understand it. Like I said, chemistry was never my strong point so I won't be offended if you have to draw pictures for me....

Thanks,
Keith
