Question
hello sir

I m electronics & communication engineer , I detected that after taking my bachelor degree , I most interested in theories rather than technical issues , I was excel in all math types , mechanics , physics , solving problem strategies , analyzing , make deductions , some time detect some hidden theories , doing research ................

all that let me think to take math as a career not for teach but for science , research  & development

I had a bachelor degree in engineer , so whats the requirements to be reach entry level position for  mathematician career

wish to hear from you soon

=======================================
Find a local university or college that offers a master's degree in mathematics.  Talk to the director of graduate studies.  Ask what undergraduate training he will expect you to have.

Most likely he will ask if you have:
Calculus 1,2,3
Elementary Differential Equations.
Linear Algebra.

Possibly he will ask about:
Advanced Calculus for Engineers.
Basic Analysis.
Real Variables and Measure.
Complex Analysis.
Abstract algebra.
But you might do these in a master's program.

After that, you will have a good idea what to study next.

Good luck.
