I am looking for a textbook (or maybe more than one) tat covers rigoursly thoroughly basic algebra based physics (college). Any suggestion?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
through will not be basic.
rigorous will not be algebra-based.

Walker would be my 1st choice for self-study.
Schaum's outline series is usually very good value.
