Simplify a simply fraction
Until someone finds better solution, you can always use this workaround
ClearAll[x,y,r,A]
Simplify[(x^2 + y^2)/r^2, {x^2 + y^2 == A}] /. A -> r^2
(* 1 *)

How can I simplify the output after integration which is obtained in terms of hypergeometric function in Mathematica?
Use exact rational powers.
r1 = ((x^2) + (R - y)^2)^(1/2);
r2 = ((x^2) + (R + y)^2)^(1/2);
P = ((R - y) x^2/r1^4);
U = Integrate[P, x]
$$(R-y) \left(\frac{\tan ^{-...

FullSimplify not yielding True for Log[a/b] == Log[a] - Log[b]?
One can use a standard Mma approach of working with logarithms. It is PowerExpand.
PowerExpand treats its expressions assuming all variables are positive. Normally

Formal variables no longer simplifying well on new Mathematica version?
These changes go back a few versions and came about in an effort to get series correct in punctured neighborhoods of branch points. A way around it is to provide ...
