We define multiplication and convolution of distributions and ultradistributions by introducing the notions of evaluation of distributions and integration of ultradistributions. An application is made to an interpretation of the Dirac formalism of quantum mechanics. The role of the Hilbert space of states is played by what is termed a Hermitian orthonormal system, and operators are replaced by the generalized matrices. We describe a simple example of one dimensional free particle and construct explicitly a representation of the Weyl algebra as the generalized matrices.
