The multiple level lecture series was developed to meet the physics requirements of students in a small community college. The physics requirements have increased in the last few years with the University of California introducing an introductory calculus level physics. With normally small enrollments in all courses, it has become increasingly difficult to support any course. The multiple level lecture series offers one lecture series over all topics of physics each semester. The lecture series consists of a series of topics with each lecture in the topic becoming more mathematically sophisticated. Students attend only those lectures up to their mathematical ability. The lecture series has been a success in meeting all demands placed on it, and part or all of the results can be applied to any physics curriculum.
