In my (prejudiced) opinion by far the best (and perhaps the only) text that really satisfies your requirements is Michael Trott's "Mathematica Guidebooks" : full of highly non-trivial problems form almost every branch of mathematics where one might consider using a computer. To be published by Springer-Verlag some time this year.
