The basic transfer orbit math, which treats heliocentric Keplerian trajectories on the assumption that neither the departure nor the arrival are gravitationally perturbed by other bodies, can be found on my LiveJournal site.

Elliptical transfer orbits.

Hyperbolic transfer orbits.

In both of the above pages, I calculate the delta-vee required to send the asteroid 2001YB5 into a collision with Earth.

An amusing story that relates to Hohmann transfer orbits can be found at
