content place holder in head section of the master page

I am wondering why there is a content place holder in the <head> section in the master page. What can I use this section for in the master page and in the page that consume this master page.
Thanks

You can put lots of stuff here. Anything that would normally go in the heading section of a typical web page. Probably one of the must common things is JavaScript code. Other items that could go in there are links to stylesheets and the page title.

if you want to add a style or javascript, and that is only usefull in a particular page, then you can add that script to that pages content head section

Ok, a follow up question, so in th master age when I do add a link to a style sheet, i need to put it inside the Content place holder like this or outside:

<head runat="server">
<title></title>

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="head" runat="server">
<link href="~/Styles/Main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</head>
