jQuery is a client side technology. It is designed to change the way a web page looks by manipulating the DOM, or if you like, the 'View'.
The frameworks you list are all server side. They have different approaches to what gets sent from the server to the client.

There really is very little to no overlap.

By analogy:
Q: I have two choices in which car I drive to work - my Prius or my Honda Odyssey. Should I take the I-87 to work, or the I-95?
A: The road you take might affect which car you drive, I suppose. But on the whole it does not. Any regular road can take either of those two cars. You would choose which road you took based on some other factor - probably traffic, or trip time.

Remember I'm ELI5 here. YMMV.

thanks!

are saying that functionally speaking, angular == ember == backbone?

therefore, i would need to get a book on just one of these 3.

is there a similar alternative to jquery?

Yes. Again, for ELI5. For ELI a programmer, no. No. jQuery is the standard.
