Where can I find a long list of clearly solved trig integral problems?

Click For Summary
To develop instincts for choosing integration techniques like u-substitution, integration by parts, and trigonometric substitution, consistent practice with a variety of problems is essential. Access to resources such as textbooks, solution banks, and online notes can enhance understanding. The "CRC Standard Mathematical Tables" is highlighted as a valuable reference for integrals, providing insight into techniques through its extensive tables, although it lacks complete worked examples. Additionally, "Schaum's Outlines" is recommended for its comprehensive tables of integrals and practical examples, aiding in the learning process. Seeking out used copies of these resources can be economical for those looking to deepen their calculus skills.

Homework Statement:: I need to develop my instincts on when to use u-sub, integration-by-parts, trig substitution, etc. But, I need to read/see tons of problems actually being solved with these techniques to know which technique to apply quickly.
Relevant Equations:: Sorry for the vague question.

I've already got access to textbooks, solution banks, Paul's notes, etc.
But, I thought this was still worth asking.

My go-to resource for all kinds of integrals is "CRC Standard Mathematical Tables." A friend gave me a copy (15th Ed.) back in the early 70s. It has a fairly large section on integrals, as well as tables for Laplace transforms, Fourier transforms, and lots of other math-related stuff. The tables don't show complete worked examples, but you can sort of infer what technique is being used by the form of the solutions.

CRC is the Chemical Rubber Co. I don't know if the book is still being published, but you can find used copies for very little if you search on Amazon or eBay or used book sellers such as abe.com.

Another resource that I used to have it Schaum's Outlines. The one on calculus should have lots of tables of integrals and examples.

i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
