According to the Gauss–Lucas theorem, if all zeros of a polynomial lie in a convex set K , then all zeros of its derivative also lie in K . In this paper, it is shown that if almost all zeros of polynomials lie in a convex set K , then almost all zeros of their derivatives lie in any fixed neighborhood of K .
