	Principles of Object-Oriented Modeling and Simulation with Modelica 3.3: A Cyber-Physical Approach Is the most complete text available about the Modelica language and its model component libraries. The second edition features improvements and updates of the Modelica language including synchronous clocked constructs, examines basic concepts of cyber-physical, equation-based, object-oriented system modeling and simulation. Prof. Fritzson introduces the Modelica class concept and its use in graphical and textual modeling with several hundred examples from many application areas and explores modeling methodology for continuous, discrete, and hybrid systems; and more. This text is aimed at System Modeling and Simulation engineers, control engineers, mechanical engineers, those working with CAD (Computer Aided Design), virtual reality, biochemistry, embedded systems, and data communication. About the Author Peter Fritzson, PhD, is Professor and Research Director of the Programming Environment Laboratory within IDA, Linköping University. Prof. Fritzson is also Director of the Open Source Modelica Consortium, Director of the MODPROD Center for Model-Based Product Development, and Vice Chairman of the Modelica Association, all organizations he helped to establish. Previously, he has served as Chairman of the Scandinavian Simulation Society, Secretary of EuroSim, and a Project Leader at Sun MicroSystems California. Paperback 1250 pages 2014 ISBN 9781-118-859124 The book can be purchased on Amazon and Wiley.

	Principles of Object-Oriented Modeling and Simulation with Modelica 2.1 (November 2003) by Peter Fritzson This book teaches modeling and simulation and gives an introduction as well as a very comprenhensive overview of the Modelica language including many examples. Moreover, about one third of the book is devoted to application examples and related application background theory. Many of these examples are available in downloadable executable form in the OpenModelica installation from the OpenModelica.org web site. Part four of the book gives an overview of the most important symbolic and numeric methods used in typical Modelica tools. Appendices include parts of the Modelica standard library. The whole book is 940 pages long. Book excerpts.

	Introduction to Modeling and Simulation of Technical and Physical Systems (September 2011) by Peter Fritzson The book is aimed at teaching Modelica modeling and simulation to beginners, or in courses where there is only limited time for an introduction to Modelica. However, if you already have the big book "Principles of Object-Oriented Modeling and Simulation with Modelica 2.1", you will not need the new book, except for teaching introductory courses. The book is 232 pages, uses downloadable exercises availabile here, and uses the Modelica language standard version 3.1.
