Notes on Feynman Integrals and Renormalization

I review various aspects of Feynman integrals, regularization and renormalization. Following Bloch, I focus on a linear algebraic approach to the Feynman rules, and I try to bring together several renormalization methods found in the literature from a unifying point of view, using resolutions of singularities. In the second part of the paper, I briefly sketch the work of Belkale, Brosnan resp. Bloch, Esnault and Kreimer on the motivic nature of Feynman integrals.
