Stewart’s Calculus has an enormous number of exercises.

#12We got a few Beast Academy workbooks for my niece for Christmas last year and she loved them. A little lower level than what you are looking for (target ages 6-13), but tons of fun.

#13Paul's Online Math Notes
https://tutorial.math.lamar.edu
He's got a healthy amount of exercises for each topic with worked out solutions, both inside the notes (as examples) and as practice/assignment problems. I've found that his exercises/examples don't pull punches.

#14Advanced Calculus by Woods is an oldie but goodie. Concise, but with a lot of exercises.
A pdf can be obtained legally from the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/advancedcalculuswoods

#15I wish someone wrote math books in the style of The Little Schemer. That’s the only style I can follow and be engaged. If anyone knows math books written in this style please let me know!

#16For calculus, I found Thomas' Calculus (https://www.amazon.com/Thomas-Calculus-Early-Transcendentals...) the most helpful. It's a textbook but has a lot of exercises.

#17I recently started a degree with Open University in Engineering (a distance learning course that's fully accredited in the UK but works for me as I move around while my wife works as a Postdoc, currently in Palo Alto). The book I've found that covers me from math basics (basically GCSE, so high school Maths) through to the more advanced topics I know I will need is Engineering Mathematics by K. A. Stroud. I'd highly recommend it. It contains a good number of exercises (and all solutions), covers all the topics I need, and progresses at a good pace. You can see the contents here: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/engineering-mathematics-978135...

#18If you're not too concerned about proofs, I can highly recommend K. A. Stroud's 'Engineering Mathematics', and the follow-on text, 'Advanced Engineering Mathematics'.
It leads the reader from basic arithmetic all the way up to complex analysis, one exercise at a time.

#19One answer: the Schaum's Outline series. Find the one(s) corresponding to your topic.
This is the actual answer to the question OP asked. Most of these other answers are good generic advice, but for somebody wanting "workbook" resources with exercises and answers, Schaum's is the way to go.
The publisher of the "for Dummies" series also has workbook type books for many (most?) of the required math subjects here, that are pretty much just exercises and answers. Those and/or the Schaum's books should cover pretty much everything OP is asking about.

#20One answer: the Schaum's Outline series. Find the one(s) corresponding to your topic.
I concur with this post. Shaum’s outlines are no-nonsense supplements for any math course that isn’t proof-based.
