In contrast with QFT, classical field theory can be formulated in a strict mathematical way if one defines even classical fields as sections of smooth fiber bundles. Formalism of jet manifolds provides the conventional language of dynamic systems (nonlinear differential equations and operators) on fiber bundles. Lagrangian theory on fiber bundles is algebraically formulated in terms of the variational bicomplex of exterior forms on jet manifolds where the Euler--Lagrange operator is present as a coboundary operator. This formulation is generalized to Lagrangian theory of even and odd fields on graded manifolds. Cohomology of the variational bicomplex provides a solution of the global inverse problem of the calculus of variations, states the first variational formula and Noether's first theorem in a very general setting of supersymmetries depending on higher-order derivatives of fields. A theorem on the Koszul--Tate complex of reducible Noether identities and Noether's inverse second theorem extend an original field theory to prequantum field-antifield BRST theory. Particular field models, jet techniques and some quantum outcomes are discussed.
