Beside reading the longish BGG wiki page here is a much simpler example:

Well, basically a group trade:

A have a game he want to trade:
  AA
B have a game he want to trade:
  BA
C have a game he want to trade:
  CA

A what to trade game AA for BA
B what to trade game BA for CA
C what to trade game CA for AA

In a direct trade, there is no trade (as A does not want to trade to C and B
does not want to trade to A)

A math trade will figure out this trade path and makes everybody happy.

This is just a simple example, but the path can get pretty complicated.

And it uses a algorithm and software to figure out the trade path.
