Bug Description

As a user I would like to have access to advanced functions of the calculator.

This bug is stricly connected with:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-calculator-app/+bug/1204109

I would like implement additional keys for calculator and after that add it to standard tablet calculator.

According to
http://design.canonical.com/2014/03/loving-the-bottom-edge/
the best practive is moving from bottom edge.

Is it applicable to calculator?

It certainly feels better at swiping, less prone to mis-swipes now.

However I'd recommend (as discussed in the most recent irc meeting) that we postpone this until after 14.04 releases, and the new SDK lands so we can do a full redesign, incorporating your new changes.

It seems that problems with bracket support (add functions which use brackets like sin, cos, tan, ln, sqrt etc ) are stopper for that feature.

I submitted bug report for that:

Thanks for reporting - we will fix that in the reboot series, that will be released soon and will substitute the current calculator app.
