You can calculate the Jacobian in Mathematica as

In[12]:= Det @ 
  D[{r Cos[\[Theta]], r Sin[\[Theta]]}, {{r, \[Theta]}}] // Simplify

Out[12]= r

since x = r * Cos[theta] and y = r * Sin[theta]

There's a YouTube video on how to do the integral

Yes,Jim Baldwin. I'm looking for how to solve this integral step by step but i think that is more complicated than i thought. Because i saw that i need to use the "Jacobian" and other kind of rules that i haven't seen yet. (Sorry for my bad english.It is not my first language)

you could use the command integrate with the following:

In[1]:= Integrate[E^-x^2, x]

Out[1]= 1/2 Sqrt[\[Pi]] Erf[x]

I hope to serve you for something that information
