Chemistry with calculus???

I am retired, and I am trying to self-educate myself in areas where I
feel I am not informed. I do this by reading college texts on various
subjects.
In many physical and even social sciences, general textbooks are
divided into those for that employ calculus, and those that don't.
The former are usually meant for majors in the subject, or for
students with better preparation. I am comfortable with calculus, and
I find that the non-calculus books are not only less deep, but are
often harder to understand when they try to explain concepts or derive
results without using calculus.
Long story short, I had no trouble finding introductory physics and
economics texts that use calculus, but I'm having a very hard time
finding an introductory chemistry textbook that does. Can someone
recommend calculus-based chemistry texts suitable for a student who
has, say, a year of calculus and physics, but is new to chemistry, or
are they ALL just based on algebra? Thank you.
