It certainly does the trick, Bill, but I wouldn't think that it's more efficient
doing 8*300 cosine operations just to vectorize a multiplication of 8*300 elements :-)
I'd suggest instead:

newarray = replicate(1,300)#cos(small_array) * sin(large_array)

or (I don't know which is the more efficient - would be nice to get some feedback):

small_array = reform(small_array,1,8)
newarray = rebin(cos(small_array),300,8,/sample) * sin(large_array)
