Are you aware of any books like your "Introduction to Physical Modeling with Modelica" but for readers without a background in EE, math, physics? I am looking for something for a mediocre SWE like myself. It doesn't have to be Modelica; I could try learning MatLab or Mathematica, etc.

Well if you are interested in the intersection of software engineering and technical computing, I'd recommend Julia. I'm currently working on JuliaSim which is a Modelica like system built on top of Julia. So Julia might interest you as a programming language and then you could pick and choose what aspects of things like ModelingToolkit if you are interested in the engineering, math and physics aspect or you can just stick to the software/programming aspects of Julia.
