Abstract: The goal of this article is to study the discrepancy of the distribution of arithmetic sequences in arithmetic progressions. We will fix a sequence $A={a(n)}_{ngeq1}$ of non-negative real numbers in a certain class of arithmetic sequences. For a fixed integer $aeq0$, we will be interested in the behaviour of $A$ over the arithmetic progressions $$, on average over $q$. Our main result is that for certain sequences of arithmetic interest, the value of $a$ has a significant influence on this distribution, even after removing the first term of the progressions.
