 * Surely it must be somewhat simple to add other math operators for calc fields,
   such as sqrt or log. You already have functionality for simple operators such
   as *+-/, but if you could just enable the JavaScript so that we can use other
   math operators for more complex formulas and multi-field calculations, that would
   be amazing, don’t you think? I’m sure your plugin would see a ton of conversions
   if you do this. I have been really struggling to find a solution… could you perhaps
   write a simple script or instruct me as to how I can add other JS operators in
   the calculation fields. Please… please… please!!! I’m willing to donate or pay
   a portion for the development, if it’s simply not a priority, but I would think
   this would be a simple edit to add this functionality… I could be wrong.

 * “Surely it must be somewhat simple to add other math operators for calc fields,

 * This is not nearly as easy as you make it sound and not nearly a common enough
   need for the majority of our users that we can spend any time on it at this moment
   and we’re unable to taking special paid requests because we are working hard 
   on version 3.0.
 * Not to mention that many users already have enough trouble with the simple operators
   so until we have time to make these less complicated we have no desire to muddy
   the waters with something that will only ensure an increase in support requests.
 * That doesn’t mean that these things might not be added in future version but 
   at this moment they are not on our roadmap.

 * what if I hire a developer? Would he be able to integrate calculated fields into
   Ninja Forms? Would that work and what might I ask for in my job post? I am a 
   regular odesk user, but never had to do anything like this. If I could just find
   a decent form that had calc fields with all math operators, I’d be quite happy.
