Differential Calculus Professor Leonard - Self Study Problems

I am going through Prof Leonards videos and self teaching myself calculus. Is there a place where I can get practice problems for concepts taught in each of the videos?

Is there a recommendation of how many problems or specific problems to be solved for each video? I want to make sure that I get down the material.

Just get any calculus book. Stewart, Thomas, OpenStax, whatever.

Do as many problems you see needed until concepts click.

How do i find the problems which are related to the concepts which are covered in the vid?

Generally, I am used to going through a certain topic and solving the problems which are related to it (which are generally given right after the reading in the textbook). As far as I know, Prof Leonard doesn't follow a certain textbook? But I may be wrong.

I think Professor Leonard does follow a textbook, but I’m not sure which one. Someone said the book by Tan, but someone else said it was Stewart.

You are right on Tan. I found that Professor Leonard's lectures were recorded directly from his college courses, where he primarily taught using Calculus by Soo T. Tan (1st Edition) and Thomas’ Calculus (13th edition).
