You can get some idea of lambda evaluation here:
http://chrisuehlinger.com/LambdaBubblePop/
(Alas it doesn't support let expressions much less let rec.)
Once you have a modicum of intuition, you're now ready to appreciate the
illustrated step-by-step evaluation of this infinite list:
http://stackoverflow.com/a/19749422
Based on the SO answer, you can now work out your function on your own.

Hi Rein,
The initial version which the OP posted doesn't have a terminal value.
The OP had posted the version that he'd wanted clarification on.

I am a haskell beginner and wondering how the following function
works (in procedure) :
oddsFrom3 :: [Integer]
oddsFrom3 = 3 : map
(+2) oddsFrom3
Thanks for your help.

You can also peruse SICP for knowing about how lazy evaluation works. The
explanations are nice. It is in lisp, though.

Try to expand a few steps of the recursion by hand e.g.:
3 : (map (+2) (3 : map (+2) (3 : map (+2) ...)))
As you can see, the deeper you go more 'map (+2)' are applied to '3'.
Greetings,
Daniel
