Norm[{1, Sin[t], Cos[t]}]
Norm[{1, Sin[t], Cos[t]}] // Simplify
(*
Sqrt[1 + Abs[Cos[t]]^2 + Abs[Sin[t]]^2]
Sqrt[1 + Abs[Cos[t]]^2 + Abs[Sin[t]]^2]
*)
Question:
How do I coax Mathematica to output Sqrt[2]?

Just so that all the i's are dotted and t's crossed: $$\cos^2(z)+\sin^2(z)=1$$ for all complex $z$ (since $\cos^2(z)+\sin^2(z)-1$ is a holomorphic function that vanishes on the real axis, it vanishes everywhere); but $$|\cos(z)|^2+|\sin(z)|^2 \neq 1$$ in general unless $z$ is real. |
