TypeScript is building in popularity and JQuery is remains one of the most popular JavaScript frameworks. Consequently you will typically want to use them together in the same project at one stage or another.

Install-Package jquery.TypeScript.DefinitelyTyped
Install-Package jquery.TypeScript.DefinitelyTyped
Now the typescript compiler will recognise your jQuery calls:
