We consider, for each smooth manifold M, the set M of all primary ideals of C(M) which are closed and whose radical is maximal. The classical Lie theory of jets (jets of submanifolds) must be extended to M in order to have nice functorial properties. We will begin with the purely algebraic notions, referred always to the ring C(M). Subsequently, the differentiable structures on each jet space of a given type will be introduced. The theory of contact systems, which generalizes the classical one, has a purely algebraic part and another one which depends on the differentiable structures.

Keywords: Jets, primary ideals, rings of functions, spectrum, contact system.
