Abstract
In this chapter we first list some basic facts on divisors, restricting the attention to quasi projective schemes over a field for simplicity. The sheaf of quotients 
which plays the role of the function field for varieties is introduced, as well as the group of Cartier divisors 
. The basic concepts related to them are given, as is relation to the group of Weil divisors. Then follows a section on Chow homology and Chow cohomology, leading up to bivariant theories.
