K A Stroud Engineering Mathematics is probably the book that helped me most. 31 chapters each composed of about 60 problems. The problems are progressive and contain explanations of the new concepts that they contain. All the answers are at the back.

I used this book and the sister book “advanced engineering mathematics” for my bachelors and masters degree in mechanical engineering.

It is probably the best pair of books ever written for what I like to call “plug and chug” maths. Strouds books cover the whole of engineering mathematics.

I turned to them for calculus in first year, and for Fourier and Laplace in my final year and masters.

But it will not teach you how to solve and develop proofs.
