Abstract: We give an upper bound for the exponential $su{m}_{m=1}^{M}exp(2ipif(m))$ in terms of $M$ and $lambda$, where $lambda$ is a small positive number which denotes the size of the fourth derivative of the real valued function $f$. The classical van der Corput's exponent 1/14 is improved into 1/13 by reducing the problem to a mean square value theorem for triple exponential sums.
