What is the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, and what are its uses in mathematics?

I checked Wikipedia, I know it is a powerful quantization in physics, but I am wondering what is its relation in mathematics (like mirror symmetry as in wikipedia). A related thing is quantum master equation, what's its use in mathematics? Any reference or background? Thanks!
