Abstract: For a real polynomial $p=su{m}_{i=0}^n{c}_i{x}^i$ with no negative coefficients and $ngeq6$, let $$ (so $$ entails that $p$ is log concave). If $$, then all roots of $p$ are in the left half plane, and moreover, there is a function $$ (for $pi/2leqhetaleqpi$) st $$ entails all roots of $p$ have arguments in the sector $|argz|geqheta$ with the smallest possible $heta$; we determine exactly what this function (and its inverse) is (it turns out to be piecewise smooth, and quite tractible). This is a one-parameter extension of Kurtz's theorem (which asserts that $$ entails all roots are real). We also prove a version of Kurtz's theorem with real (not necessarily nonnegative) coefficients.
