Error: jQuery is not defined (javascript inside a page)

I started learning javascript and I build a little pomodoro timer based on the Treehouse Quick Tips videos (Pomodoro technique and timer in javascript). The script works pretty fine in the workspace. Now i want to include it as a page on my wordpress site. I just opened a new page and clicked on the "Text" button and copy & paste my whole workspace file. I needed to remove some paragraph tags and after that, the code worked as intended, but if I check the site with the google Chrome developer tool (F12), then I see an "Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined" error, but as i mentioned before, the Site works!

I red through some other forum threads and added <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> in front of my script section.

I also tried 

(function($) {
$(document).ready(function($){
*javascript code*
});
}(jQuery));

Nothing worked. Do you have any ideas? Thanks
