Hello,

A dual supply has a "+", ground and a "-". A single supply has only "+" and ground. Have a look at THIS and THIS document. Opamps are actually dual supply devices, and there are some problems that have to be overcome when used with a single supply.

 

Goes back to the history of op amps. They were originally used for analog computers, where you needed an output that could go plus or minus (the number was an analog voltage).

For a dual power supply think in terms of two batteries, where the batterys connect is considered ground, while the outside terminals are either plus or minus voltage.

Truth is, you don't need dual power supplies most cases. They can simplify circuitry sometimes, but you can use a resistor divider to create ½ the power supply voltage and use this as ground.

Here are some other techniques to do the same thing.
