This is one part of a multi-part series. For the full series see:

This video shows the conceptually pure initial seed value concept, which is not how it is actually implemented in a typical, practical software-based CRC computation. In practice, the seed is in effect XORed with the first k bits of the data word. But the explanation for the details will have to wait for later.
