Corrected notation.
Oct 8, 2012 at 4:04 comment added Ondřej Čertík Geoff, that's correct. I put a simple general formula plus a worked out example here: theoretical-physics.net/dev/src/math/integration.html
Oct 7, 2012 at 19:35 comment added Geoff Oxberry Your Jacobian matrix $\mathrm{D}\varphi$ should be 3 by 2, so $\mathrm{D}\varphi^{\mathrm{T}}\mathrm{D}\varphi$ should be a 2 by 2 matrix.

Oct 7, 2012 at 17:45 comment added danny_23 Thanks a lot. The book I'm reading covers only the case where a square (2 by 2) Jacobi matrix is involved to keep things simple. The expression above if I got it right makes it possible to use arbitrary sized (2 by 3) Jacobi matrices. Unfortunately I'm still getting $\det(\mathrm{D}\varphi^{\mathrm{T}}(x,y)\mathrm{D}\varphi(x,y))=0$ at the moment but it's much better than I had earlier. I'll create another thread on the proper choice of mapping function. Thanks again.
