              In this note we give a short and elegant proof of the result   for   not a rational multiple of  , uniformly in  . This was first proved by Hardy and Littlewood, in 1938. The main ingredient of our proof is Van der Corput's inequality. We then generalize this to obtain   , where   is a nonnegative constant.
