I've used Giancoli in the past, too. It's about as rigorous as you can
get. The older editions that I used were very focused on problem solving,
with not much focus on conceptual stuff. I think the recent editions are
much more balanced, but I would still go with Hecht, or maybe Serway &
Faughn's college book.
