I am currently in Calc II and am curious if anyone has any recommendations for a physics book that is less trig based and would allow me to utilize the skills I have gained with Calculus.
What are some recommended calculus-based physics books for mathematicians?

Less trig based than what?

Check out "Physics for mathematicians" by Michael Spivak, and "Mathematical methods of classical mechanics" by V.I. Arnold. I don't know if either of them is what you want, but they're both much more "mathematical" than physics books written by physicists for physics students.
