Create a file named myMath.py containing:
--------------------------------------
from math import *

def sqrt(x):
     ...whatever you want...
---------------------------------------

Then you can:
   import math #to get normal stuff and
   import myMath # to get your customized stuff
or
   import myMath as math # to get your stuff but named math.
