Principles of object-oriented modeling and simulation with Modelica 2. 1

Description

This down-to-earth introduction to computation makes use of the broad array of techniques available in the modern computing environment. A self-contained guide for engineers and other users of computational methods, it has been successfully adopted as a text in teaching the next generation of mathematicians and computer graphics majors A timely introduction to the latest modeling and simulation techniques. Object-oriented modeling is a fast-growing area of modeling and simulation that provides a structured, computer-supported way of doing mathematical and equation-based modeling. Modelica is today's most promising modeling language in that it effectively unifies and generalizes previous object-oriented modeling languages and provides a sound basis for the basic concepts. Principles of Object-Oriented Modeling and Simulation with Modelica 2.1 introduces the latest methods of object-oriented component-based system modeling and.  Read more...
