I am looking to buy a good book on data visualisation and would love to here your recommendations. My background is mathematical and I am currently working on a data analysis tool for my employer. The two books that have intrigued me so far are

The Visual Display of Quantitative Information by Tufte

Interactive Data Visualization: Foundations, Techniques, and Applications by Ward

I'm more interested in algorithms and efficient ways to analyse the data. I'd like a book that could explain how to make graphs similar to the ones on this website.

The list post suggested by @gary comtois is great, but if you are looking for algorithms I would suggest looking at:

http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596514556

It assumes programming knowledge but isn't the most challenging of books. However it covers plotting graphs, treemaps and other things.

The bibliography is also quite good.

Hope it helps.
