Books for practice integration problems and calc 3

In summary, the conversation discusses the search for a practice book that covers problems on definite and indefinite integration at an easy to intermediate level. The speaker mentions a book "Technical Mathematics with Calculus" by Linda Davis, which they found easy to follow and covers topics up to differential equations. They also suggest "Inside Interesting Integrals" as a more pure-mathsy option.

I am looking for a (practice)book that has problems on definite and indefinite integration from easy to intermediate.

also which book covers the prerequisites of calculus for books like Griffiths.(similar to the topics in chap 1 of Griffiths but more in-depth)

I bought the book "Technical Mathematics with Calculus" by Linda Davis in a bookstore quite a few years ago that has the problems you mention. I found the book relatively easy to follow and was happy with the purchase. It covers simple stuff up to differential equations. Mine is copyright 1990 by Merrill Publishing Company. Library of Congress catalog card number: 89-63150. International Standard Book Number: 0-675-20965-x. Good luck finding it or another one that suits you.

By the way, if you would like something a little more pure-mathsy I think you will really like "Inside interesting integrals", it's a very fun book which isn't so much a textbook as instead a discussion of cute tricks and clever approaches. I haven't finished it yet but what I have read of it is very nice.
