Germs and Jets (Catastrophe Theory)

Hi all,

I am a bit confused on these ideas, though they should be simple calculations. I have an exam for this in 2/3weeks and I need more examples.

If you can explain 3 examples of each that would be great!

To give you an idea of the level, there is ONE example I have access to for each.

Germ

f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 + x
find the germ at x_0= - 1

Jets

Find the kth jet at 0 for
e^x


If you can point me into any resources, or come up with examples and explain them, that would be awesome!!

Thank you for any reply
