The AV (Aperture Value) is an expression that tells how many stops away from f/1 an aperture is.

Since f/1.4 is one stop slower than f/1, it has an AV of one (1)
Since f/2 is two stops away from f/1, it has an AV of two (2)
Since f/2.8 is three stops from f/1, its AV is three (3)
... and so on.

which is also:
ApertureValue=2*log(FNumber)/log(2)
There is even a nice conversion table:
However, looking at my own photos (EOS 70D), I find that the exposure value and the FNumber are close to each other but not always equal, so this doesn't follow the table below for apertures => f/8. So I ...
