Let me add that this is a consequence of Fejer's theorem: Let f(x) 
be a function defined for x>=1 that is differentiable for x>=x0. 
If f'(x) tends monotonically to 0 as x -> infinity and if x|f'(x)| 
-> infinity as x -> infinity, then the sequence f(n), n=1,2,3,..., 
is uniformly distributed modulo 1. See L. Kuipers & H. Niederreiter: 
"Uniform distribution of Sequences".
