In the literature I have encountered two different definitions of jets of smooth functions, and I was wondering how one could identify these definitions.
One definition is the often encountered ...

How to visualize the dual objects of jets of functions?
I work with a smooth $f: M \to \Bbb C$ and I would like to have an object mimicking the concept of "$k$-th order differential" from multivariate calculus. For various reasons that are not important ...

On the smooth structure of the spaces of $k$-jets
I was asking myself, if the following list of conditions is sufficient to determine the usual smooth structure on the spaces of $k$-jets.
the map $j^k f:M\ni x\to j_x^k f\in J^k(M,N)$ is smooth, for ...

Jet spaces between non Hausdorff manifolds
I found it very hard to find literature about smooth manifolds that are not required to be Hausdorff. In particular I'm interested in their local properties:
1.) Are the $r$-th order jet bundles $J^r(...
