Abstract: Roots of random polynomials have been studied exclusively in both analysis and probability for a long time. A famous result by Ibragimov and Maslova, generalizing earlier fundamental works of Kac and Erdos-Offord, showed that the expectation of the number of real roots is frac2pilogn+o(logn). In this paper, we determine the true nature of the error term by showing that the expectation equals frac2pilogn+O(1). Prior to this paper, such estimate has been known only in the gaussian case, thanks to works of Edelman and Kostlan.
