- "A Course of Higher Mathematics", V. I. Smirnov. - "Differential and Integral Calculus", N. Piskunov. - "Problems in Mathematical Analysis", B. Demidovich. These are great books. Demidovich's book is a collection of more than 3000 exercises. Smirnov's book is a course that takes you from what a value means, to advanced topics (5 volumes, in 7 books). Piskunov's book is in-between (course and exercises). These are the books we've used and went to during the first two years of Engineering (all engineers civil/mechanical/electrical/etc. and phys/maths/chem students go through the maths/phys/chem heavy common core except CS/SE students).

  I used the ODE book by Krasnov/Kiselyov/Makarenko (which doesn’t seem to be easily findable online, nor even physical copies) to teach a class at a US R1 university. My only complaint was the many show-stopping typos.

  I don't know where you live. There's a website https://mirtitles.org https://mirtitles.org We have the Office of University Publications here in Algeria that sells them. I know the Piskunov one is available in their physical stores because I bought a copy a few years back (though I couldn't find the beautiful small red hard-cover with fabric that smelled so nice) and I have inherited the Smirnov's and others from my siblings. They're not trivial to find, but they're worth it.

  You can find many of the MIR (and other former Soviet era) books published by low-cost Indian Publishers on Amazon India. The paper quality might be iffy but the contents are always great.
