Abstract: This is an overview of higher structural constructions in physics. The main motivations of our current attempt are as follows: (i) to provide a brief introduction to derived algebraic geometry, (ii) to understand how derived objects naturally appear in physics and give rise to formal mathematical treatment, and (iii) to investigate how factorization algebras together with certain higher categorical structures come into play to encode the structure of observables in physics. Adopting such a heavy and relatively enriched language allows us to formalize the notions of quantization and observables in quantum field theory as well. This document is organized to examine each task listed above in an expository manner.
