Maybe you can draw some inspiration from the Wolfram|Alpha web-based calculator for your app. It's my go-to for basically any calculation when I'm at a desktop computer. You can type things like:

distance to moon / thickness of nickel

...and it parses the text to give you the result!

I believe Numi is also something that can be used to make Caligator even better in forthcoming releases

Yes! I'm actually a fan of Wolfram Alpha! I discovered it around 2014/15 on Quora when it suddenly got a lot of popularity! Our end goal is to actually implement that level of input interpretation! Lots of work to be done.
