While taking a course on introductory probability, I found out about stochastic calculus and differential equations, topics which I decided I would learn because they sounded very interesting. I found an MIT OCW course on Mathematical Finance that was perfect because it would use single and multivariable calculus, differential equations, linear algebra and probability, as well as develop the concepts of Itô Calculus and Stochastic processes.
Unfortunately, the course problems had no solutions (a problem I find very hindering when learning on my own because an integral part of the learning process is known when you are right, when you are not, and why you are not). Also, the lecture notes contained typos who managed to invade equations and formulas, making them false and confusing.
I have looked for similar courses on the internet that both reinforce and review topics I have already studied while also developing the aforementioned concepts that I wished to understand, however, my search has turned up nothing.
I would like to know if there are books or online courses with these characteristics, or at least a website or textbook I can use to learn stochastic calculus.

The following textbook may be a good fit:
Steven Roman
Introduction to the Mathematics of Finance
Springer, 2004
It has lots of worked examples, and has an appendix with solutions to selected exercises (most of the odd-numbered ones).
