[Solved]-Highcharts saying undefined is not a function when trying to add a new chart-Highcharts

Highcharts does not require JQuery to work (the current answer is wrong), however you need to load the 'standalone framework' library first:

define([
    'vnd/highcharts/standalone-framework',
    'vnd/highcharts/highcharts',
], function(){
    ...
}

See @Sebastian's jsfiddle for a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/aEuGP/

I resolved the issue. The solution is as follows.

Highcharts requires jQuery to function correctly. When I added the jquery.js file above the highcharts.js file the angular application started to work correctly.

Thanks for the feedback!
