Transversality is a basic concept of differential topology and theory of manifold. Homological algebra may be regarded as a method to approximate `spaces' by an algebra and is a basic concept in agebraic topology.
I would like to explain in this talk how they are related to some basic problem of quantum field theory such as renormalization.
