The head tags are used to indicate material that is about your document, but is not meant to appear within your document.
There are several kinds of information you can include in the head section of your document, but for now we'll just use the <title> tags. Between the title tags we'll place, unsurprisingly, the title of the document. Where does this title appear? Not within the browser window. Instead, the head tags appear on top bar of the browser, above the toolbars and menus. It is the title of the page not the document.
