Marden, Kent
Marden ( or ) is a village and civil parish in the Kent borough of Maidstone approximately south of Maidstone.

History Name The dense woodland and marshes of the Weald of Kent were littered with acorns and beech mast in autumn making ideal seasonal foraging ground for pigs. The grants by Saxon kings for rights to these pannage areas were known as ''dens'' which later came to refer to the herders' camps and ultimately the settlements that grew up there. ''Maer'' referred to barren areas of marsh alongside the forest. In time the dens developed into permanent settlements such a ''Maer'' ''den'', or clearing beside the marsh. By 1066 the settlement was recorded as ''Maere Denn''; in 1170, ''Maeredaen''; 1235, ''Mereden''; 1283, ''Merd ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Marden Henge
Marden Henge (also known as Hatfield Earthworks) is the largest Neolithic henge enclosure discovered to date in the United Kingdom. The monument is northeast of the village of Marden, Wiltshire, within the Vale of Pewsey and between the World Heritage Sites of Avebury and Stonehenge. Description The enclosure is roughly oval in shape, and is enclosed by a typical bank and internal ditch arrangement constructed on the east, north and north-west sides and by the River Avon to the south and west. Its greatest width is 530 m and it encompasses an area of , and is under the care of English Heritage. Antiquarian accounts of the site describe a huge mound within the enclosure called Hatfield Barrow, which collapsed after excavation by William Cunnington in the early 19th century. Today, Marden Henge has been damaged by ploughing, and no longer has any standing stones. Around 1 kilometre to the south, archaeologists have detected the presence of another henge known as Wilsford Henge. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Marden's Theorem
In mathematics, Marden's theorem, named after Morris Marden but proved about 100 years earlier by Jörg Siebeck, gives a geometric relationship between the zeroes of a third-degree polynomial with complex coefficients and the zeroes of its derivative. See also geometrical properties of polynomial roots. Statement A cubic polynomial has three zeroes in the complex number plane, which in general form a triangle, and the Gauss–Lucas theorem states that the roots of its derivative lie within this triangle. Marden's theorem states their location within this triangle more precisely: :Suppose the zeroes , , and of a third-degree polynomial are non-collinear. There is a unique ellipse inscribed in the triangle with vertices , , and tangent to the sides at their midpoints: the Steiner inellipse. The foci of that ellipse are the zeroes of the derivative . Additional relations between root locations and the Steiner inellipse By the Gauss–Lucas theorem, the root of the double deriva ...
