For a more conceptual introduction leaning on using computers, whose goal was getting STEM students up to speed to understand the context of work in their various fields, you might enjoy https://www.science.smith.edu/~callahan/intromine.html

For something more traditional, take a look at textbooks by Piskunov, Courant, or Apostol. Spivak's Calculus has excellent problems if you are looking for something more abstract and rigorous (probably better after a first course). https://archive.org/details/n.-piskunov-differential-and-int... ; https://archive.org/details/ost-math-courant-differentialint... ; https://archive.org/details/calculus-tom-m.-apostol-calculus... ; https://archive.org/details/introductory-calculus-book-colle...

Finally, if you want a strategy for those tricky integrals, per se, take a look at Schoenfeld's "Integration: Getting it All Together", https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED214787.pdf ; some results of teaching the solution of integrals by this method were presented in https://www.jstor.org/stable/2320344
