There is a surprisingly-well-maintained list of book available at:
  http://caml.inria.fr/about/books.en.html

The only book that (1) would be relevant to you and (2) I have
experience with is "Nouveaux exercices d'algorithmique", by Michel
Quercia, which I warmly recommend. I haven't had the luck to get my
hands on Sylvain Conchon and Jean-Cristophe Filliâtre's "Apprendre à
programmer avec OCaml", but I'm confident it is excellent -- and goes
far deeper than its beginner-oriented description suggests.

Among English-language books, I'm not sure which one would fit the
bill of being math-oriented enough; maybe John Whitington's new book,
"More OCaml: Algorithms, Methods, and Diversions".

If you are also interested in programming language theory (but I'm
afraid that's quite far from the agrégation), you may like Didier
Rémy's online lecture notes, "Using, Understanding, and Unraveling the
OCaml Language"
