Do Underscore.js and jQuery complement each other?

I'm just starting to learn JavaScript, and stumbled over Underscore.js and jQuery. Underscore looks really cool but I wonder if jQuery does not already provide functions similar to Underscore. So, is it worthwhile to use both?

Taken from the underscore site:

It's the tie to go along with jQuery's tux, and Backbone.js's suspenders.

Underscore is more suited to data manipulation and brings many Ruby methods to JavaScript. There is some crossover, but not enough to make them mutually exclusive.
