    Let \(P\) be a nonzero integer polynomial of height \(H\). It is possible to prove that, if \(w\) is large enough and if \(|P(x)|<H^{-w}\) for some complex number \(x\), then ``the'' root of \(P\) closest to \(x\) is real. The authors prove that this is true for \(w>2n-3\) if \(H\) is sufficiently large. They also bound the distance between \(x\) and ``the'' root of \(P\) closest to \(x\).
