Problems of strongly interacting electrons can be greatly simplified by reducing them to effective quantum spin models. The initial step is renormalization of the Hamiltonian into a lower energy subspace. The positive and negative U Hubbard models are explicitely transformed into the Heisenberg and -x-xz models respectively. Basic tools of quantum magnetism are introduced and used: spin coherent states path integral, spin wave theory, and continuum theory of rotators.The last lecture concerns pseudospin approaches to superconductivity and superfluidity. The SO(3) rotator theory for the -x-xz model describes a charge density wave to superconductor transition. Analogously, Zhang's SO(5) rotator theory describes the antiferromagnet to d-wave superconductor transition in high Tc cuprates. Finally the Magnus force on the two dimensional vortices and their momentum, are derived from the Berry phase of the spin path integral.
