Abstract
In this thesis, we will examine the properties of subelliptic jets in the Engel group of step 3. Step-2 groups, such as the Heisenberg group, do not provide insight into the general abstract calculations. This thesis then, is the first explicit non-trivial computation of the abstract results.
