The freely available first chapter of my book "OCaml for Scientists" covers
the basics of OCaml:
http://www.ffconsultancy.com/products/ocaml_for_scientists/chapter1.html
The remainder of the book should be accessible to people from a variety of
disciplines and covers topics including numerical analysis, parsing,
visualisation using OpenGL and optimisation. The final chapter walks through
five complete applications written in OCaml. The code from the visualisation
and final chapters is freely available:

You may also enjoy our "Benefits of OCaml" pages, that discuss various
language features and also has several example programs (symbolic
manipulation, a tiny interpreter, mandelbrot renderer, ray tracer and maze
generator):

There are a couple of demos that haven't been linked in yet. A rabbit
renderer:

and a 19-line Sudoku solver:
