Abstract
In previous chapters we have considered coherent states systems for bosons and for fermions separately. Here we introduce superspaces, where it is possible to consider simultaneously bosons and fermions. Our aim is to give a short introduction to this deep and difficult subject by considering some elementary examples where coherent states and quantization are involved.
