Complex differential 1-form question

Homework Statement

I am trying to solve Nakahara Ex. 1.5. I have already solved part (1), but I am stuck trying to generalize the equation of (1) to prove part (2). I think I will be able to complete the proof if I can establish the following equation:

Homework Equations

\int dz d\overline{z} \exp({-z\overline{z}}) = \int dx dy \exp({- x^2 - y^2})

The Attempt at a Solution

Using z = x + iy, it is obvious that both exponents are the same, but the Jacobian from the coordinate transformation does not seem to be equal to 1. Is it true that dz d\overline{z} = dx dy ? If so, why?

What you have is dz\wedge d\bar{z}, compute dz and d\bar{z} and take their wedge product.
