Automatic identification and substitution of fundamental mathematical constants
How can I computationally force or convert or express results to be
expressed in mathematical constants, if possible?
For the GoldenRatio, it shows up as $\phi$ only in TraditionalForm. So it is not ...

How can I reduce this complex exponent expression to real expression?
The last two terms can be simplified to real as follows
FullSimplify[-(c - d I) E^((a + b I) t) - (c + d I) E^((a - b I) t)==-2 E^(a t) (c Cos[b t] + d Sin[b t])]/.

How can I reduce this complex exponent expression to real expression?
This is a problem created by using machine numbers. These are seldom 100% accurate, they are most of the time an approximation. And if you have an expression like: x - Conjugate[x] it is possible that ...

Why Mathematica is treating the product of (specified) real variable as complex?
You are probably not using Mathematica correctly. First, you shouldn't put MatrixForm into SingularValueList. Second, the way ...

How to write an easy Conjugate Function that just replaces i -> -i
Replace acts on the full form of an expression, not the displayed form. The full form of your expression:
expr = I (a + 0.5123 I b - 1.2332 I c);
expr // FullForm
Therefore a complex number is ...

Distribute conjugate and simplify to absolute values
Not to make things too complicated, I only use the first part of w for an example:
w = 1/2 (x Conjugate[x] + y Conjugate[y] - a x Conjugate[-a x + a y])
Then ...

Factorize in a particular way
A quick way to do that is:
Collect[TestPolynomial,{x1,x2,x3},Simplify]
An inconvenience with the above code is that it also factorizes some of the variables :

Mathematica won't validate Fresnel Integral identity
Works fine here once I correct the formula:
FresnelC[z] + I FresnelS[z] == (1 + I)/2 Erf[(1 - I)/2 Sqrt[π] z] // FullSimplify
(* True *)
To get the original ...

Solve conditional term with mathematica
The lazy way to do this is to evaluate
Solve[{z == (x^3 + y^3)/(x^2 + y^2), x + y == 3, x y == -1}, z, {x, y}]
{{z -> 36/11}}
The clever way to do this is ...
