Abstract: We describe three methods to determine a faithful representation of small dimension for a finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra over an arbitrary field. We apply our methods in finding bounds for the smallest dimension $mu(Lg)$ of a faithful $Lg$-module for some nilpotent Lie algebras $Lg$. In particular, we describe an infinite family of filiform nilpotent Lie algebras $L{f}_n$ of dimension $n$ over $Q$ and conjecture that $mu(L{f}_n)>n+1$. Experiments with our algorithms suggest that $mu(L{f}_n)$ is polynomial in $n$.
