There's no need for SUM here since you're just looking for a count of the
nonzeros.
tfA = A < 1
tfB = B > 50
tfAB = tfA & tfB
N = nnz(tfAB)
This leads to the one-liner:
N = nnz( (A < 1) & (B > 50) );
The only part of that statement that IMO may be difficult to understand is
the NNZ function, which not a lot of people tend to use or perhaps know
about. [NNZ: it's not just for sparse matrices anymore! ;]
