This will happen, too, if you use the SLIM version of jQuery.
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.1.slim.min.js"></script>
gave me
>jQuery.get
:undefined
>jQuery.get()
:VM7130:1 Uncaught TypeError: jQuery.get is not a function
at <anonymous>:1:8
while loading the same library without the slim option
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.1.min.js"></script>
works well
jQuery.get()
:Object {readyState: 1}
