Factorization is a property of global objects that can be built up from local data. In the first half, we introduce the concept of factorization spaces, focusing on two examples relevant for the Geometric Langlands programme: the affine Grassmannian and jet spaces.

In the second half, factorization algebras will be defined including a discussion of how factorization spaces and commutative algebras give rise to examples. Finally, chiral homology is defined as a way to give global invariants of such objects.
