It's a method of measuring angles other than the more mainstream, simpler format.
First you write the degree with the degree symbol, then you write the amount of minutes, which are 1/60 of a degree, and finally you write the seconds, which are 1/60 of minutes and therefore 1/3600 of a degree. It can be tricky to convert, but you should be able to do it back and forth with a graphing calculator.
