{wiki=Jet_(mathematics)}
In mathematics, particularly in the field of algebraic geometry, a "jet" is a concept used to formalize the idea of "approximating" a function or a geometric object by polynomials or smooth functions. The term is most commonly associated with "jets" of functions, which capture information about a function not only at a point but also its derivatives up to a certain order at that point.
