The default calculator from Ubuntu 10.04 was perfect. It was simple, yet powerful. It had memory locations and when you switched between Hexadecimal and Decimal the number in the display changed to represent the value in the new base.
The Ubuntu 12.04 default calculator does not have a memory function, and the display does not change when you change base.
Is there a way to install the old calculator application, or is there an alternative that is similar?

You just need to change the preference. All functions are there. This is a screenshot from the default calculator
Go to Menu → Programming to enable this. There are other powerful functions too as @Takkat said in a comment.
Alternatively, You can try using
speedcrunch
. Dosudo apt-get install speedcrunch
in a terminal
