You are studying indefinite integrals from Demidovich (section 4, problems 1650–1891).
You want problems that:

The original Soviet editions had no answers at the back. None. The translated versions often have "Answers and Hints" only for the odd-numbered problems, and even those are cryptic ("Yes," "No," "Converges conditionally"). This forces intellectual honesty. You cannot cheat. If you think you know the answer, you must prove it to a professor or a study group. This is the single most terrifying—and effective—pedagogical feature of the book.

Mathematics is largely about pattern recognition. When you solve 100 integrals in a row, your brain begins to subconsciously catalog archetypes. You start to see that a specific denominator structure implies a trigonometric substitution. This intuition is difficult to build by solving only a handful of problems per topic.

You cannot compare Demidovich to standard textbooks like Stewart or Thomas. Those are texts with problems attached. Demidovich is a problem bank with no hand-holding.
