We are a project group at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. We are aiming to make an autonomous quad-copter using APM 2.5 and the Arducopter firmware. However we are new to Multi-copters and personally, reading heavy terms like AHRS and Mavlink and DCM has been not enjoyable at all. Can anyone suggest a good document/tutorial which will give an overview of this?

If you don't like (I mean really like) reading about this stuff, then you should select a new topic for your project. That being said, here are a few links and a document that should help.

There's a glossary of confusing terms right on the front page of this site.
