Without seeing the code we have no idea what expl is but the error
indicates it is a sequence of some sort (list? set? array? dict?).

And the cosine is obviously going to be a float. As the error says,
you can't multiply a sequence by a float. So you either need to
change expl into something that can be multiplied by a float,
or you need to iterate over the sequence multiplying each
item individually.
