Open-source feature-rich calculator. App itself is no longer in development, but the developer
does [encourage pull requests](https://github.com/tranleduy2000/ncalc#calculator-n---powerful-calculator-for-android).
I've used it frequently and it works great. Not on F-Droid, but a 3rd party play store can probably find it;
or the APK's are available as releases on GitHub. You can also compile from source.
