Remark
This article has defined jets of local sections of a bundle, but it is possible to define jets of functions f: M → N, where M and N are manifolds; the jet of f then just corresponds to the jet of the section
- grf: M → M × N
- grf(p) = (p, f(p))
(grf is known as the graph of the function f) of the trivial bundle (M × N, π1, M). However, this restriction does not simplify the theory, as the global triviality of π does not imply the global triviality of π1.

Famous quotes containing the word remark:
“The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.”
—Bible: New Testament St. Paul, in Titus, 1:12.
Cited by Paul, this remark is attributed to Epimenides.
“I know not whether the remark is to our honour or otherwise, that lessons of wisdom have never such power over us, as when they are wrought into the heart, through the ground-work of a story which engages the passions: Is it that we are like iron, and must first be heated before we can be wrought upon?”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“The surest way to make a monkey of a man is to quote him. That remark in itself wouldn’t make any sense if quoted as it stands.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
