Let z 1 , . . . , z m be m distinct complex numbers, normalized to |z k | = 1, and consider the polynomialWe define a sequence of polynomials in a greedy fashion,whereand prove that, independently of the initial polynomial p m , the roots of p N equidistribute in angle at rate at most (log N ) 2 /N. This persists when sometimes adding "adversarial" points by hand. We also obtain sharp rates for an L 2 -version of a problem first raised by Erdős and solved by Beck in L ∞ . §1. Introduction.1.1. Introduction. Let (x n ) ∞ n=1 be a sequence on [0,1]. We define the discrepancy function D N : [0, 1] → [0, 1] associated of the first N elements via
