Not sure if this is the operation you really want from your description:
a = 6x7 matrix
b = 7x3 matrix
c = a * b; % 6x3 matrix

The issue is because both a and b are vectors rather than matrices in the example you have shown there. Presumably what you want is something like:
a = reshape(a, 6, 7);
b = reshape(b, 7, 3);
c = a*b;

Neither of those matrices is either 6x7 or 7x3, so your question is nonsense as written.
Perhaps your intention is that these VECTORS be reshaped into MATRICES of the given sizes. In that case, use reshape, then merely do a simple matrix multiply, using the * operator.
But you cannot use a tool like bsxfun to do something that only you know what you want it to do. Software simply does not work that way.
