Matrix representation is used to represent any system of interest. It contains the information about the system like the physical measurement (eigenvalues), eigenstates etc. Let us suppose that a number of students are sitting in a class, so each of them has a particular position (along a particular row and column); mathematically this can be represented in a matrix form. A matrix representation depends upon the choice of basis. The eigenstates of the matrix diagonalize itself giving eigenvalues along the main diagonal.
