Abstract: In this paper we show, how a straightforward and natural application of a pair of fundamental identities valid for polynomials orthogonal over the unit circle, can be used to calculate the determinant of the finite Toeplitz matrix, Delta_n=det(w_{j-k})_{j,k=0}^{n-1}:= det(int_{|z|=1}frac{w(z)}{z^{j-k+1}}frac{dz}{2pi i})_{j,k=0}^{n-1}, with the Fisher-Hartwig symbol, w(z)=C(1-z)^{alpha+i�eta}(1-1/z)^{alpha-i�eta},quad |z|=1, alpha>-1/2, �etain{mathbb R} . Here C is the normalisation constant chosen so that w0=frac12pi. We use the same approach to compute a difference equation for expressions related to the determinants of the symbol w(z) = { m e}^{t(z+1/z)}, a symbol important in the study of random permutations. Finally, we study the analogous equations for the symbol w(z) = { m e}^{tz}prod_{alpha=1}^{M}(frac{z-a_{alpha}}{z})^{g_{alpha}}.
