    \textit{F. A. Berezin} [The method of second quantization. New York-London: Academic Press (1966; Zbl 0151.44001)] has introduced the notion of superspace of dimension \((m,2n)\), where one has \(m\) commuting and \(2n\) anticommuting variables. The second author [Port. Math. 54, No. 3, 287--310 (1997; Zbl 0886.15037)] has introduced the necessary axiomatic framework, called radial algebra, to extend the notions of Clifford analysis to superspace. Here this is developped in a very readable form, super analogues of the classical operators in Clifford analysis are defined and several generalizations of classical relations are given. The necessary calculations are more complicated but the results are very similar to the Clifford case. The authors announce further studies on elementary functions, generalizations of Hodge theory, super spherical harmonics and monogenics (holomorphics) as well as on a new type of superspace integration.
